We’re now months past the BC provincial election that, after a recount, declared NDP a majority, but now the BC Conservative Party is suggesting there were irregularities.
In a press conference in front of reporters on Thursday morning, party leader John Rustad announced that they had filed a complaint with Elections BC and, further, a petition with the courts.
Rustad has also called for an independent review of Elections BC and how the election was conducted.
Honveer Singh Randhawa, the Surrey-Guildford Conservative candidate, also attended the press conference and shared his concerns with the media. He initiated the court challenge.
“Court challenge brings the possibility for a byelection to come forward,” Randhawa said.
Randhawa said irregularities in mail-in ballots were part of what triggered this challenge, including allegations that people who said they didn’t vote had their votes attributed to them.
