First debate between six candidates seeking the leadership of the BC Liberal Party to be live streamed on party's website
BY , Sep 28, 2021 7:18 PM - REPORT AN ERRORSix candidates seeking the leadership of the BC Liberal Party meet tonight in the campaign's first debate streaming live on the party's website and Facebook page.
The Liberals will elect a new leader February 5th to replace former leader Andrew Wilkinson who stepped down shortly after the party's election defeat last October.
Stewart Prest, a political science lecturer at Simon Fraser University, says the Liberals are seeking new political directions after consecutive election losses, and the debate offers opportunities for the candidates to put forward new visions.
The six candidates are: Vancouver entrepreneur Gavin Dew, former cabinet minister Kevin Falcon, former chamber of commerce executive Val Litwin, and current MLAs Michael Lee, Renee Merrifield and Ellis Ross.
