B.C. Conservatives Start Voting on Rustad's Leadership

  • The B.C. Conservative Party has begun a months-long, riding-by-riding leadership review of John Rustad starting in June 2025 across all 93 ridings in British Columbia.
  • The vote follows Rustad's leaked accusations against former Conservative MLAs who formed splinter parties and allegedly tried to blackmail current members to take control of the party.
  • The three former Conservative legislators involved have rejected the blackmail accusations, describing them as distractions, while the party president considers the claims to be an external attempt to divert attention.
  • Rustad expressed optimism about the vote’s outcome, noting some in-person voting has occurred, while MLAs like Gavin Dew affirm confidence in his leadership despite anticipated questions.
  • If Rustad fails to secure over 50% support, he must resign and an interim leader will be appointed, with final results expected at a fall convention amid ongoing party infighting.
