In a seismic shift in B.C. politics, BC United Leader Kevin Falcon is moving to suspend his party's campaign ahead of the October election.

“This is the right thing to do for British Columbia,” Falcon said at a press conference Wednesday.

He encouraged all BC United supporters to unite behind BC Conservative Leader John Rustad.

“I got back into politics because I wanted to build a bright future for my two daughters and for the next generation of British Columbians,” Falcon said. “Today, I’m stepping back for the same reason. I know that the best thing for the future of our province is to defeat the NDP, but we cannot do that when the centre-right vote is split.”

Nominations of BC United candidates will be withdrawn to enable the Conservative Party of BC to draw from United’s pool of incumbent MLAs and candidates, according to the statement.
