And then there were two: Alan Mulholland pulls out of the PC leadership race
Though he has spent the last number of months canvassing the Island, Mulholland found he was not well enough known among the membership to be successful for the leadership.
The retired businessman said he's not well-known enough to gain the leadership
Alan Mulholland has dropped out of the race for Prince Edward Island's Progressive Conservative Party leadership.
Mulholland said in a press release on Friday he feels he is not known well enough across the Island to be successful.
"I was heartened by the number of people I spoke to who agreed with many of the ideas that I was putting forward during my travels across the Island," he said.
"I will continue to develop my profile on P.E.I. and prepare myself for the next opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of Islanders."
