British Columbia91裸聊视频檚 Official Opposition BC United party says it will run some candidates in the Oct. 19 election despite the recent suspension of its 91裸聊视频渇ull province-wide91裸聊视频 campaign to throw its support behind the surging B.C. Conservative Party.

A letter to party members Friday said the move is intended to leave open a door to the party being resurrected for future elections.

It said despite last week91裸聊视频檚 campaign suspension by Leader Kevin Falcon 91裸聊视频渨e intend on running a select number of candidates in the upcoming election.91裸聊视频

The letter said the move ensures BC United, formerly the B.C. Liberal Party, remains a registered political party with Elections BC.

91裸聊视频淎gain, I want to reiterate that we have simply suspended the full province-wide BC United campaign for this upcoming provincial election,91裸聊视频 BC United executive director Lindsay Cote said in the letter.

91裸聊视频淭his does not fold our party or erase our organization,91裸聊视频 she said. 91裸聊视频淥ur intent is to ensure that following the October 2024 election, we will be able to have a thorough discussion with our membership about the future of BC United. If there is a desire within our membership to rebuild the party, and a plausible path to do so, we want to be in a position to act on this.91裸聊视频

Cote said the party has yet to decide how many of its candidates will stand in which ridings.

Falcon announced last week he was suspending the campaign and withdrawing the party91裸聊视频檚 candidate nominations and instead urging support for the Conservatives to prevent a vote-split that would help the New Democrats win re-election.

91裸聊视频淜evin Falcon, as leader of BC United, had the power under our party constitution to revoke nominations of all candidates for the upcoming election,91裸聊视频 said Cote. 91裸聊视频淲hile he did not need support of the provincial executive for this decision, he sought it and it was granted. We are now in the process of revoking these nominations with Elections BC.91裸聊视频

Cote said the decision to suspend the campaign was difficult for party members, candidates, MLAs and staff employees.

91裸聊视频淲hile we know this decision was gut wrenching, we strongly believe it gives British Columbians the best opportunity to defeat the NDP and secure a free-enterprise victory in the provincial election this October.91裸聊视频

Adam Wilson, BC United communications director, said in a statement running some candidates ensures the party name is available in future elections.
