Usually a party leader retains the leadership until a successor is formally chosen — however, in some situations this is not possible, and an interim leader is thus appointed by the party's caucus or the party executive. An interim leader may also be appointed while a leader is on a leave of absence due to poor health or some other reason, and then relinquish the position upon the leader's return.

By virtue of lacking a mandate from t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
