The federal Conservatives raised more money than the Liberals and the New Democratic Party (NDP) combined during the second quarter of this year, as the party inches closer to choosing a new leader.

The Conservatives raised over $4.4 million between April 1 and June 30, while Liberals raised nearly $2.8 million and the NDP received almost $1.2 million in contributions.

Financial returns filed with Elections Canada also lay out contributions to the Conservative federal leadership candidates during the second quarter, which totalled over $8 million.

Front-runner Pierre Poilievre received the most contributions of the candidates running for leadership of the party.

Poilievre raised just over $4 million, while former Québec premier Jean Charest raised almost $1.4 million for the race.

The Conservatives will announce the winner of the leadership race on September 10.
