MLA Peter Milobar announced on Friday that he is leaving the BC Conservative Party and will sit as an Independent.
In a statement, Milobar said that since 2017, he has been entrusted by the residents of Kamloops and the surrounding area to be their voice in Victoria.
“I completely respect the vote of the membership, and that Kerry-Lynne Findlay has earned the right as leader to shape the party as she sees fit,” he said.

“It has, however, become clear to me over the last few months that my values don’t align with this new direction.”
Milobar said he will now be sitting as an Independent in the legislature.
“What matters most to me hasn’t changed — serving the people of Kamloops Centre,” he added.
“I’ll have more to say about the road ahead in the days to come.”
Milobar ran for leader of the BC Conservative Party along with Findlay, Iain Black, Caroline Elliott and Yuri Fulmer.
Meh, as long as he was planning to repeal DRIPA I don’t care. He was a liberal before he pretended to be conservative.
What’s really funny is that even a guy married to a FN, and who was liberal party member can see how bad DRIPA is for BC is willing to repeal it.
Even he 100% knew that repealing it as election platform was a sure fire way to get reflected.
Now that’s funny!!
He’s like a rat jumping from a sinking ship. Too funny 🤣🤣
