The party has received and verified a motion movedbyformer PC executive director SharonVokey to take on the review.

Vokey said earlier this weekshe believes it's time to re-evaluate Davis's leadership before the party moves towards the next election.

To remain the party's leader, Davis will need to receive a vote of over 50 per cent in support of his leadership.

If he falls below 50 per cent, an automatic leadership convention will be held.
