Eby says NDP won't be courting B.C. Conservative defectors
Eby says the NDP will not seek Conservative defectors as nine MLAs leave the caucus and centrist rivals try to unite.
- Premier David Eby says he won't court B.C. Conservative defectors to join the NDP, citing a "fairly significant gap" between the parties' positions.
- Nine legislators quit the official Opposition caucus in the past three weeks, citing leadership, communication, and direction disagreements under Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
- Kamloops Centre MLA Peter Milobar and CentreBC Leader Mike Bernier are building separate centrist alternatives but remain at an impasse, threatening to fracture the centre-right vote.
- Findlay is running in the Abbotsford-Mission by-election later this month, facing CentreBC candidate Lakhwinder Jhaj and NDP candidate Pam Alexis.
- Former Conservative riding association president Randy Hawes warned that failing to unite the centre-right is "just handing the NDP the government again," with the next provincial election scheduled for October 2028.
