Incumbent BC United MLA Karin Kirkpatrick runs as Independent in West Vancouver-Capilano due to leader's party merger decision.
Karin Kirkpatrick, an incumbent BC United MLA, will run as an Independent in the West Vancouver-Capilano riding after initially announcing her retirement. Her decision follows BC United Leader Kevin Falcon's suspension of the party's campaign in favor of the B.C. Conservatives, which she believes alienates moderate voters. Kirkpatrick joins four other incumbent Opposition MLAs running as Independents, emphasizing the need for a centrist voice in the legislature.
