Conservatives in Chaos Ahead of Byelection | Vancouver News

B.C. Conservatives face a political earthquake as they prepare for a September 26 byelection in Abbotsford-Mission, with leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay stepping into the race despite not holding a seat. The seat opened after Reann Gasper’s resignation, but tensions are high — six MLAs have already quit the caucus since Findlay took over, and more may bolt or go independent after a controversial meeting. Leaked audio suggests Findlay may have offered advisory roles to MLAs willing to step aside — a move that could violate Canadian bribery laws. Meanwhile, NDP’s Pam Alexis, who previously held the seat and served as Minister of Agriculture, is running again, touting healthcare and housing priorities against what she calls the Conservatives’ divisive “culture wars.” This byelection isn’t just about filling a vacancy — it’s a make-or-break moment for the embattled Conservative party.
