VICTORIA — The new leader of the B.C. Liberal party says his predecessor is resigning his seat in Vancouver to give him a chance to run in a byelection.
Kevin Falcon was elected party leader on Saturday and said his plan was to quickly seek a seat in the house.
He says Andrew Wilkinson has decided to resign his seat in Vancouver-Quilchena.
The NDP government has six months to call a byelection.
