While Wikipedia did once have a consensus that being a candidate for the leadership of a registered political party was a sufficient claim of notability in and of itself, that is no longer the case. Now, a person must also have a more substantive claim of notability alongside that to qualify for an article — but that has not been demonstrated here, as the only other claim of notability here is an unsuccessful candidacy for a House of Commons seat. Delete — I would recommend redirection to an article about the leadership race itself as an alternative, but all we have is an omnibus list whose only content about the 1950 contest is a raw table of the vote totals, and thus a redirect would serve no useful purpose here.
