Next Conservative Party of British Columbia leadership election

Uncommon card · No. 80216

Following the resignation of Conservative Party of British Columbia leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay on September 20, 2026, the party may hold a leadership election in the coming months. The day after Findlay's resignation, Lorne Doerkson was named interim leader, and the following day the 2026 British Columbia general election was called. The party's board of directors said that Doerkson would be made permanent leader if he became Premier of British Columbia, though the board of directors does not have the authority to make a required change to the party’s constitution to allow for this. The party won the election. Doerkson has said once he has been sworn in as premier, he will remain party leader, calling any changes necessary for him to continue leading the party "administrative" in nature. Party president Mauro Francis said he does not anticipate any opposition to amending the party constitution so that Doerkson can remain leader.
