VICTORIA – British Columbia Opposition Leader Kevin Falcon has announced that he is suspending BC United’s election campaign and is encouraging supporters to instead back the rival BC Conservative Party.
Falcon says in a statement issued by the Conservatives that nominations of BC United candidates will be withdrawn to allow the Conservatives to draw from them for its election slate, less than two months before the province goes to the polls.
More coming.
