Overview
- The BC Conservative Party announced that Angelo Isidorou has left the executive-director post and both he and leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay described the split as amicable.
- Isidorou is widely credited with rebuilding the party since 2022, turning it from a marginal group with little funding into a multi‑million‑dollar organization with a large membership base.
- Findlay won the party leadership in May by a razor-thin margin and immediately reshaped senior roles, a process that reporting says has coincided with roughly half of staff turning over.
- Recent weeks have produced controversies that exposed internal tensions, including leaked guidance on Indigenous terminology, a recording of Findlay referring to an MLA as linked to the “CCP,” and a seat dispute that led an MLA to step down from a regional role.
- Prominent conservatives praised Isidorou on social media, and his exit could leave the party vulnerable to further staffing disruption, strained caucus communications, and questions about readiness to govern while Findlay lacks a legislative seat.
