Court battle over Manitoba Tory leadership race to resume in two weeks

The court challenge aimed at unseating Heather Stefanson as Manitoba Progressive Conservative leader and premier has been put over until November 19th.

Shelly Glover, who finished a close second to Stefanson in last weekend's leadership race with 49 per cent of the ballots, is asking the Court of Queen's Bench to quash the results and order a new vote.

The judge hearing the case says he wants to hear from both sides on whether the court has jurisdiction over an internal political party matter.

Glover's case focuses on two complaints -- one that an extra 501 votes were counted and another that unsealed ballot boxes were moved out of the room where votes were being counted.

The Progressive Conservative party has denied any unfairness.
