The party did not say in which ridings it will run candidates or how many candidates will seek election
British Columbia’s Official Opposition BC United party says it will run some candidates in the Oct. 19 election despite the recent suspension of its “full province-wide” campaign to throw its support behind the surging B.C. Conservative Party.
It said despite last week’s campaign suspension by Leader Kevin Falcon “we intend on running a select number of candidates in the upcoming election.” “Again, I want to reiterate that we have simply suspended the full province-wide BC United campaign for this upcoming provincial election,” BC United executive director Lindsay Cote said in the letter.
“Kevin Falcon, as leader of BC United, had the power under our party constitution to revoke nominations of all candidates for the upcoming election,” said Cote. “While he did not need support of the provincial executive for this decision, he sought it and it was granted. We are now in the process of revoking these nominations with Elections BC.”
