Premier Christy Clark announces July 10 byelection in Westside-Kelowna riding
VICTORIA – B.C. Premier Christy Clark has set the date for the byelection she hopes will bring her back into the legislature.
Voters in the Okanagan-area riding of Westside-Kelowna will vote on July 10.
The byelection comes after MLA Ben Stewart stepped aside to create the vacancy in what is considered a very safe Liberal riding.
Clark is seeking seat in the legislature following her election-night loss last month to New Democrat David Eby in Vancouver-Point Grey.
The New Democrat Party announced yesterday that elementary school teacher Carole Gordon, who’s lived in Kelowna for 40 years, will run against the premier in the riding.
The Conservatives announced earlier this week that Realtor Sean Upshaw would be running for the party in the byelection, while the Greens will not be fielding a candidate.
