Kerry-Lynne Findlay resigns as B.C. Conservative leader
The departures leave the party with 24 MLAs and deepen turmoil as Findlay says internal conflict has distracted from opposition work.
- On Sunday, Surrey-Serpentine River MLA Linda Hepner resigned from the B.C. Conservative caucus effective immediately, citing lost confidence in party leadership.
- Friday's removal of John Rustad, Trevor Halford, and Claire Ratté from caucus brought Hepner's concerns "to a head," as she described the party as "a distracting cacophony of voices."
- Hepner is the 13th MLA to exit the party since August, while the Conservative Party now holds 24 seats in the legislature.
- Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay announced her resignation as party leader Sunday afternoon, stating she would not put internal disputes ahead of British Columbians.
- Speculation grows that Premier David Eby may call a snap election as early as this week, though the next scheduled provincial election remains October 21, 2028.
