Politicians who quit too soon should pay by-election costs
KAMLOOPS — The Kelowna West by-election is officially underway. Unofficially, it’s been going on for months, but Premier John Horgan has finally set the date for Feb. 14 — Valentine’s Day.
It’s been months since Christy Clark announced her resignation as BC Liberal leader and as MLA for the riding.
Horgan has been in no rush to call a by-election, speculation being that he hasn’t been anxious to give the Liberals a chance to boost their numbers back up to 43 members, compared to the 44 held by NDP and Greens combined.
