As infighting over control of the UCP continues – Premier Jason Kenney addressed new allegations Wednesday – with suspicion being raised from three MLAs, including one in Kenney's caucus.
On Tuesday, UCP MLA Peter Guthrie went public about concerns he has over the upcoming party AGM in Calgary.
Guthrie said he was "frustrated" that party leaders were not listening to members.
“Public opinion continues to wane and we may be at a point where this party cannot be salvaged,” he wrote in a letter he read in front of the premier during a caucus meeting.
Guthrie also told Postmedia that he worries third-party advertisers (often called PACs) are paying registration fees for pro-Kenney delegates.
He called it a "scheme" and said the premier's office, party officials and MLAs were involved, according to the report.
“This may not be illegal but it is certainly unethical,” Guthrie is reported as saying to columnist Rick Bell.
