Heather Stefanson says she will stay on as leader of Manitoba's Progressive Conservative party for at least a year, as the party prepares for a leadership race.
Stefanson announced plans to step down as leader after her party lost Tuesday's provincial election to Wab Kinew and the Manitoba New Democrats.
Se did manage to retain her seat in Tuxedo, albeit by just over 260 votes.
The Tories say a leadership race is expected to take place within the next year and a half.
