B.C. Conservatives face caucus exodus as Abbotsford-Mission byelection candidates emerge

Abbotsford-Mission byelection B.C. Conservative Party Á'a:líya Warbus Lakhwinder Jhaj British Columbia politics

British Columbia's political landscape is facing significant shifts as the Conservative Party of B.C. experiences internal instability and preparations begin for the Abbotsford-Mission byelection.

Chilliwack-Cultus Lake MLA Á'a:líya Warbus has announced her departure from the Conservative caucus to sit as an Independent. Warbus cited a lack of transparency and accountability under new party leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay, specifically noting the cancellation of a planned caucus meeting. Warbus is the seventh MLA to leave the party in less than a month and the 14th since the 2024 election, leaving the party with 30 of its 44 elected members.

Concurrently, candidates are emerging for the Abbotsford-Mission byelection, scheduled for September 26. CentreBC has announced Lakhwinder Jhaj as its candidate. She joins Conservative Party of B.C. leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay and NDP candidate Pam Alexisin in the race. The byelection was called by Premier David Eby following the resignation of MLA Reann Gasper, who stepped down to facilitate Findlay's entry into the contest.
