Kurek was first elected in the Alberta riding of Battle River—Crowfoot in 2019.

The Conservatives handily won that riding on Monday with nearly 82% of the vote.

In a significant upset, Poilievre lost in the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton – a seat he’s held for 20 years – by more than 4,300 votes to Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy.

But despite losing his seat and leading the party to its fourth failed attempt to defeat the Liberals, Poilievre appears to have support from the party for now.
