Former Conservative legislator Brent Chapman and his wife, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, have faced a wave of threats and harassment from within political circles, according to OneBC, a new political party.
Chapman recently made headlines by joining OneBC to contest in the upcoming election, following Findlay’s resignation as Conservative party leader amidst internal turmoil.
However, despite initial plans, Chapman’s name did not appear on the final list of candidates unveiled by Elections BC. OneBC explained that both the party and Chapman decided together that he would not seek election in Surrey South.
In a statement, OneBC expressed excitement about Chapman’s involvement but acknowledged the immense pressure they had faced in recent months.
The resignation of Findlay, swiftly followed by the snap election called by NDP Leader David Eby, highlighted the divisions within the Conservative party. OneBC criticized the Conservative Party of British Columbia for not upholding what they see as essential conservative principles.
The party emphasized the importance of family and security, applauding Chapman’s principled stance while supporting his decision to step back for now.
OneBC emerged as a breakaway faction from the B.C. Conservatives after the previous provincial election, coming close to success.
The interim leader of OneBC, former Conservative legislator Dallas Brodie, is running for re-election, but the party did not meet the official status requirements due to a procedural issue related to Chapman not notifying the relevant authorities in time.
