BC Conservatives choose Pavneet Singh over Tracy Gray in Kelowna-area riding
The party chose Singh hours after Tracy Gray sought the same nomination, as the riding’s incumbent has not decided whether to run.
- The Conservative Party announced Pavneet Singh as its candidate for the Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream riding on Wednesday night, mere hours after longtime Kelowna politician Tracy Gray declared her intention to seek the nomination.
- Gray, a former Conservative MP and city councillor, announced her bid earlier that day, criticizing the snap Provincial Election as a "callous move" by Premier David Eby that disrupts municipal campaigns.
- Singh, a successful entrepreneur and community advocate, has called the Okanagan home for more than 25 years and currently serves as the Conservatives Vice-President.
- Independent MLA Tara Armstrong currently holds the Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream riding, though she has not yet determined if she will run in the 2026 Provincial Elections.
- On Tuesday, Sept. 22, Premier David Eby dissolved the legislature, scheduling the election for Saturday, Oct. 24 while citing concerns about "MAGA-style" politics and U.S.-imposed tariffs.
