The retired businessman said he's not well-known enough to gain the leadership
Alan Mulholland has dropped out of the race for Prince Edward Island's Progressive Conservative Party leadership.
Mulholland said in a press release on Friday he feels he is not known well enough across the Island to be successful.
"I was heartened by the number of people I spoke to who agreed with many of the ideas that I was putting forward during my travels across the Island," he said.
"I will continue to develop my profile on P.E.I. and prepare myself for the next opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of Islanders."
