Prince George-North Cariboo MLA Sheldon Clare is pulling the pin on his bid to become party leader of the Conservative Party of BC.
According to a Facebook post today (Friday), Clare noted he submitted more than the 250 signatures required as part of the leadership application to the Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC).
However, a critical number of those signatures were from individuals who are not current party members or whose memberships had lapsed, and therefore could not be accepted.
Clare launched his leadership campaign on January 20th at the Sandman Signature Hotel.
This morning (Friday), Prince George-Mackenzie representative Kiel Giddens threw his support behind former Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar who currently sits as the party’s labour critic. Four others endorsed the 56-year-old during an announcement on Wednesday.
The Conservatives will announce their new leader on May 30th.
