Leader of B.C. Conservatives says they are united, ready after snap election call
Doerkson says the party has reunited after weeks of turmoil and will campaign to repeal DRIPA, as three NDP ministers opt not to run again.
- On Tuesday, NDP Leader David Eby called a snap election for October 24 in Victoria, seeking a "strong mandate" amid U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada.
- Calling it a "cynical snap election," Interim Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson argued the NDP government's 10 years of mismanagement has negatively affected British Colombians.
- Welcoming back a dozen legislators, Doerkson confirmed Peter Milobar rejoined the party on Tuesday, putting aside disagreements with former leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
- Three NDP cabinet ministers—Health Minister Ravi Kahlon, Emergency Management Minister Kelly Greene, and Agriculture Minister Lana Popham—will not seek reelection, while the Conservatives lost candidate Linda Hepner.
- Eby cited 16 percent export growth to non-U.S. markets as a "firebreak," while Doerkson announced repealing the province's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act will be a key campaign focus.
