Christy Clark says it was “time to go”
VANCOUVER — Former B-C premier Christy Clark says she is stepping away from politics to allow the provincial Liberal party to renew itself.
She says her decision to resign as head of the B-C Liberals and as an M-L-A will also allow her to spend more time with her teenage son.
Clark served as B-C’s premier from 2011 until earlier this year, following a tight election race that ultimately resulted in an NDP minority government back by the Greens.
Clark’s resignation takes effect Friday.
