One term is enough for Penticton’s mayor

PENTICTON — Penticton will have a new mayor following the November civic elections.

Incumbant Garry Litke announced today that he will not be seeking a second term.

Litke has only been in  office for a little more than a year, replacing Dan Ashton who left in mid-term to become an MLA.

That leaves two declared candidates for the mayor’s office in Penticton, but nominations are open until this Friday.

Litke’s announcement also means the sitting mayors in the Okanagan’s largest three cities will not be running again.
