- On Monday, Conservative leadership candidate Yuri Fulmer and MLA Dallas Brodie announced a "unite the right accord" to prevent vote-splitting. OneBC will skip candidates in 88 of 93 ridings while Conservatives forgo five.

- Conservative party members will choose a new leader on May 30, deciding the accord's future direction. Fulmer remains one of six candidates seeking to succeed Rustad.
