The party changed its name in April 2023 after leader Kevin Falcon said a change would fuel a renewal
British Columbia’s Opposition BC United is looking to put its previous Liberal name on the upcoming fall provincial election ballot after internal polling shows 30 per cent of people didn’t know the party was re-named, says a party director.
“We still have almost one-third of British Columbians unaware that the party that was the B.C. Liberal Party, the party that built the Sea-to-Sky Highway, built the William R. Bennett Bridge, built the Port Mann Bridge, that they’ve changed their name to become BC United,” said Wilson. The Election Act does not specifically prohibit a party from listing its former name on a ballot, said the statement.
Surrey resident Vikram Bajwa, who launched a failed B.C. Supreme Court challenge in February 2022 to delay announcing the winner of the former B.C. Liberal Party leadership vote by 15 days over party audit result concerns, said in an email he applied to register the BC Liberals name with Elections BC but was rejected.
