Former B.C. Conservative leadership candidate Caroline Elliott will run in election
Caroline Elliott, the candidate who narrowly missed the B.C. Conservative Party leadership, will be running in the upcoming provincial election on October 24th in West Vancouver-Capilano. Her closest competitor, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, resigned from the party last week following a series of expulsions and departures. Elliott lost to Findlay in the leadership race by just two per cent.
Findlay announced she would not be running for the party after NDP Leader David Eby triggered an early election. Elliott will be competing in a riding previously won by Conservative candidate Lynne Block in the 2024 election, with Block now running in North Vancouver-Seymour. Other former leadership contenders, including Peter Milobar, Harman Bhangu, Bruce Banman, Sheldon Clare, and Steve Kooner, are also set to run for their respective seats.
The B.C. Conservatives have nominated Ayla Dumais to run in West Vancouver-Sea To Sky, where she will face incumbent B.C. Green MLA Jeremy Valeriote.
