Valley, who was among a number of ministers not selected as candidates to contest last November\'s general election, said its necessary that Manning be challenged during the upcoming party convention.



Last year, Mr. Valley reportedly warned that the party should challenge the leadership of Prime Minister Manning if it intends to remain in power.
