B.C.’s large parties on track to field candidates in all ridings as deadline looms
Elections BC lists 43 official candidates for the B.C. New Democrats, while there are 32 on the list for the Conservatives as of Sept. 30.
British Columbia's major political parties appear to be on track to field candidates in all 93 ridings as the Oct. 3 nomination deadline approaches, according to Elections BC. The New Democrats have 43 official candidates listed, while the Conservatives boast 32. However, smaller parties like CentreBC and OneBC are lagging with only one and seven candidates registered respectively, despite claiming larger numbers.
The Greens currently have seven candidates on file. CentreBC and OneBC, both established following the splintering of the B.C. Conservative Party, have only recently emerged on the political scene.
