Conservative campaign manager Jenni Byrne says she won’t run the next campaign

OTTAWA, CANADA, AUG 8 – Jenni Byrne will no longer manage campaigns but continues advising Pierre Poilievre after four consecutive Conservative election losses to the Liberals, party sources said.

  • On August 8, 2025, Conservative campaign manager Jenni Byrne said she will not lead the next election campaign but remains a key adviser to Pierre Poilievre.
  • Since April 28, critics held Byrne responsible for the Conservatives’ fourth straight loss to the Liberals, amid mounting internal pressure.
  • During her first extended comments, Byrne said avoiding a Trump-only focus was the right decision, despite polls showing Conservatives leading for months.
  • Byrne said she plans to advise MPs on policy daily but will not join budget or question period meetings, defending her record against critics.
  • Looking ahead, Poilievre is running in the Battle River-Crowfoot by-election expected to be decided on Aug. 18, and the party will review his leadership at the January convention.
