This past weekend - BC First Party Interim President Gary Young declared his candidacy for the provincial riding of Cariboo-Chilcotin in next year's provincial election. He'll run as an Independent. Read more here
Besides Mr. Young - Charlie Wyse of the BC NDP and current Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett (BC Liberals) are declared candidates which leaves the question if or even when the BC Conservatives' step forward with their candidate for Cariboo-Chilcotin. Should this happen - it'll be interesting to observe what a 4 person race in Cariboo-Chilcotin looks like. Unlike 2009 when it was a horse race between Barnett/Wyse, any of the, up to, 4 candidates could secure a mandate from the voters' in Cariboo-Chilcotin next May...
Meanwhile - I think a 4 way race for Cariboo-North is also very likely with Bob Simpson seeking another term and candidates from the BC Liberals, BC NDP and BC Conservatives equally as likely...
Stay tuned - provincial politics is going to get hotter from here on in...
