Doug Ford remains entrenched as Ontario PC Party leader and premier after securing a third consecutive majority in the February 2025 snap election, with no scheduled leadership review or convention vote before year-end. Recent developments include Ford's high-profile promotion of the “Fortress North America” trade agenda and diplomacy in Washington, alongside continued party events such as Ford Fest, reflecting consolidated internal support rather than succession pressures. Polling continues to show the PCs ahead of opposition parties, and analysts note the absence of credible rivals or organized dissent capable of triggering a change by December 31. Trader consensus at 87.5% for “No” aligns with these structural and political realities, where procedural barriers and Ford’s mandate make a near-term exit unlikely absent unforeseen developments.
