P-E-I Premier Rob Lantz says he will stay on as Progressive Conservative leader until the party selects someone else.
Lantz says since taking on the role in February he has had several conversations about his future and has decided to stay on as premier until a new P-C leader is elected.
He says the province needs someone focused on the day-to-day job of governing, with a seat at the national table, delivering on the priorities of Islanders, and he is committed to doing just that.
The P-E-I P-C party has not given a date for their leadership convention.

The Halifax Regional Municipality has decided to stop sharing information with the public using the X social media platform.
Instead, the regional government says it is switching to the Bluesky platform.
The change is in response to a decision from regional council, which followed a review of public feedback and trends in other jurisdictions.
The municipality now has six new accounts on Bluesky that include information about transit, the fire department, planning and parks & recreation.
