Former Federal Minister Pushes for New Liberal Party in BC

Herb Dhaliwal seeks to revive a centrist party after BC United's campaign suspension leaves voters politically homeless.

Herb Dhaliwal, a former federal cabinet minister, aims to establish the 'New Liberal Party of BC' for moderate and centrist voters.
Dhaliwal argues that the collapse of BC United and its alignment with the BC Conservatives has left centrist voters without a viable option.
Elections BC has rejected the proposed party name due to potential voter confusion with the former BC Liberal Party and BC United.
Dhaliwal, through his lawyer, has requested Elections BC to reconsider, suggesting ballot modifications to clarify the party's independence.
With the provincial election looming on October 19, Dhaliwal emphasizes the urgency of resolving the party name issue.
