BC Conservatives say they’ve ousted their leader, but he refuses to go

December 3, 2025

The B.C. legislature was in turmoil Wednesday after BC Conservatives attempted to oust their leader, John Rustad, by declaring him unfit for the job.

A lawyer’s letter released by the Conservative Party said 20 members of the Official Opposition caucus – a bare majority – had lost confidence in Mr. Rustad. The party’s board declared a new interim leader, MLA Trevor Halford, to serve while it begins the preparations for a leadership contest.
