WHITEHORSE - Yet another leadership race has been launched, this time in the Yukon, as members of the Yukon Party could select a new boss on May 28.
Premier Dennis Fentie called for the leadership convention at his party's annual general meeting on Saturday, honouring a pledge he made last year.
Fentie will remain as interim leader until the vote.
He has not revealed if he plans to run again for his own job, but says an announcement will come soon.
No other candidates have come forward to declare their bids for the leadership of Yukon's governing party.
Fentie led the Yukon Party to power in 2002 and became Canada's longest-serving premier when B.C.'s Gordon Campbell resigned in advance of a leadership convention earlier this year.
