A
leadership candidate is someone contending to become the
leader of a
political party. That is, a person who is participating in a leadership race
?.

[+] OP coverage
One purpose of
openpolitics.ca itself is to increase scrutiny on people that may otherwise not be carefully scrutinized before they assume public offie. Several
notices should be place on the
profile of any person who has recently been, is likely to be, or is officially announced or speculated as, a candidate. In general the notice should first appear upon speculation reaching the press or "probes" on official member forums.
Other notices will probably be required as leadership race
?s can be much nastier in elections with less rules between competing
factions of
anonymous trolls.
