Centre BC Leader Elenore Sturko Running in Surrey South for Provincial Election
Sturko says CentreBC offers an alternative to voters unhappy with the NDP and Conservatives, after her office handled more than 1,500 public cases.
On Friday, Sept. 25, CentreBC Party leader Elenore Sturko announced her candidacy for Surrey South, the riding where she was first elected in a 2022 byelection.
Sturko joined CentreBC earlier this month after being removed from the BC Conservative caucus last September, citing voter concerns about the "chaos of the Conservatives over the last two years."
During her time serving Surrey South and Surrey-Cloverdale, Sturko handled more than 1,500 cases assisting residents with government services, noting she "loved serving the people of Cloverdale."
Sturko argued many voters feel alienated by both parties, claiming residents oppose another four years of the NDP after nine years in power while others cannot support the Conservative option.
Regarding potential rivals, Sturko has heard "only rumours" about other candidates in Surrey South, while former Conservative MLA Brent Chapman has defected to the OneBC Party.
