- Former South Surrey-White Rock MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay will remain on the B.C. Conservative Party leadership ballot after the Conservative Leadership Election Organizing Committee confirmed the decision Friday, with voting beginning Saturday, May 23.

- Voting opens Saturday, May 23, with five candidates competing to select a new leader to challenge the NDP, with the winner to be announced at a convention on May 30.
