B.C. Election Heats Up as NDP and Conservatives Nominate Full Slates of Candidates

As British Columbia's provincial election approaches on October 19, both the New Democratic Party (NDP) and the Conservatives have nominated full slates of candidates. A total of 323 candidates are officially running, with an increase in independent candidates following the collapse of the BC United Party. Notably, 11 Indigenous candidates are competing across 93 ridings, representing the NDP, Conservatives, and Greens. This election is shaping up to be one of the most diverse in recent history.
