The Progressive Conservative party executive says members will select a new leader to replace Patrick Brown on Saturday, March 10th.
A special party committee has spent the last few days drafting the rules, a timeline for the race and how much it will cost to enter the competition, which will be held just a few months before the June 7th provincial election.
Following their meeting on Wednesday night, the party said the final rules of the leadership contest would not be released until Thursday.
Brown resigned as party leader last week after sexual misconduct allegations surfaced.
Party president Jag Badwal says because of a short time frame between now and the June provincial election, most of the voting for a leader to replace Patrick Brown will be done electronically.
So far, there's only one declared candidate to replace Patrick Brown, Toronto politician Doug Ford.
