Aug 28, 2024 | 12:34 PM

In a seismic shift in B.C. politics, Kevin Falcon is expected to fold the BC United Party on Wednesday and suspend his campaign, Global News has learned.

It is unclear what will happen to the party’s assets at this time but Falcon, along with BC Conservative leader John Rustad, is expected to address the issue on Wednesday (Aug. 28) afternoon.

Some of the United candidates will run for BC Conservatives.

This reportedly includes Tom Shypitka in Kootenay East, Peter Milobar in Kamloops, Jaime Stein in Vancouver-Langara and Ian Paton in Delta South.

Falcon will not be running in the election. The list is still being worked on for others running for Conservatives, Global News has learned.
