Joachim Agou kicked out of BC Conservatives over social media posts
Social media posts from Victoria-Beacon Hill candidate Joachim Agou came to light this week, which targeted the Pakistani and Palestinian communities.
BC Conservative party member Joachim Agou was expelled from the party on Thursday following the release of his social media posts. The content, originating from Victoria-Beacon Hill candidate Agou, depicted discriminatory remarks against Pakistani and Palestinian communities. Interim BC Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson denounced the behavior, stating that there is "no excuse for this" and that Agou is no longer a Conservative candidate.
If elected, Agou would not be allowed to serve in the Caucus. Agou subsequently deleted his X account and was removed from the BC Conservative website. Global News has sought comment from Agou.
