Conservative Party of B.C. forms leadership election committee

Yesterday, the Conservative Party of British Columbia formed a leadership election organizing committee to oversee its next leader and set rules for a contest to be held as soon as possible.
John Rustad, former B.C. Conservative leader, quit on Dec. 4, 2025, one day after initially refusing to step down amid a caucus revolt, and 20 MLAs said they had lost confidence before Trevor Halford was installed as interim leader.
Scott Lamb, chair of the committee and former president of the Conservative Party of Canada, leads members including Aisha Estey, Claire Rattee, and Don Nightengale, the 2021 returning officer.
The committee's chair, Lamb, described British Columbia as `desperately in need of new leadership` to guide the province, urging swift organization of the leadership contest.
With no declared candidates yet, the party is preparing rules for a contest; no one has officially announced a plan to run since John Rustad, former B.C. Conservative leader, quit on Dec. 4.
