  • B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad elected in his riding

British Columbia Conservative Leader John Rustad has been re-elected in his riding of Nechako Lakes.

Rustad was kicked out of the Opposition BC United Party for his support on social media of an outspoken climate change critic in 2022, and last year was acclaimed as the B.C. Conservative leader. 

Buoyed by the BC United party suspending its campaign, and the popularity of Pierre Poilievre's federal Conservatives, Rustad led his party into contention in the provincial election.
