B.C. Conservatives register new municipal party ahead of next year's local elections
With the registration of a new political party, Conservative candidates could be on ballots for local councils in several of B.C.'s biggest cities for next year's municipal elections. Elections B.C.'s newest list of registered political parties shows that the Conservatives have, as of this week, registered as a civic political party, to operate in 15 B.C. municipalities, including Vancouver, Surrey, Abbotsford, and Kelowna. The municipal Conservative party was registered by David Denhoff, deputy director for the B.C. Conservatives, Elections B.C. records show. The B.C. Conservatives surged from less than two per cent of the vote in 2020 and not a single candidate elected, to electing 44 MLAs last year with 43 per cent of the vote and nearly forming government.

Despite Denhoff's role with the new municipal party, it's not clear at this stage what level of co-ordination — if any — exists between the upstart municipal organization and the B.C. Conservatives. B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad declined to comment Thursday on the launch of the municipal Conservatives. The full list of jurisdictions where the Conservatives are registered to operate includes Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Delta, Fort St. John, Kamloops, Kelowna, the Township of Langley, Maple Ridge, Prince George, Richmond, Saanich, Surrey, Vancouver, Vanderhoof, and West Vancouver. Reached Thursday, Denhoff declined to discuss the new party but said he would share more information soon. dfumano@
