Seven CentreBC MLAs rejoin Conservatives for Oct. 24 snap election
The move reunites all but one CentreBC MLA with the Conservatives as they position themselves as a governing alternative before the Oct. 24 vote.
- On Tuesday, NDP Leader David Eby called a snap election for Oct. 24, prompting seven legislators from the breakaway CentreBC party to rejoin the official Opposition Conservatives.
- These seven legislators returned to the Conservative fold following the resignation on Sunday of former leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay, who had previously ousted them from the main Opposition caucus.
- Eleanor Sturko remains the sole CentreBC MLA not rejoining the Conservatives, citing her ejection last year by former leader John Rustad and the party's support for repealing the human rights code.
- While the Conservatives labeled the election call "cynical," interim leader Lorne Doerkson and CentreBC's leader Peter Milobar stated they "have come together to give British Columbians a viable governing alternative."
- Eby is framing the snap election as an "existential moment" for the province, citing an urgent necessity to respond to the threat posed by President Donald Trump and his trade war.
