Patrick Brown disqualified from Conservative leadership race

With less than two months to go before the Conservative Party chooses its next leader, one of the main contenders has been ejected from the race.

In statement released late Tuesday night, the party’s leadership committee said Brown is being disqualified after “serious allegations of wrongdoing” related to financing rules.

The statement did not offer specific details of those allegations but said Brown’s campaign was given a chance to address the concerns.
