Áʼa꞉líya Warbus becomes 7th MLA to exit B.C. Conservatives citing leadership concerns
Warbus said a cancelled caucus meeting and concerns over transparency drove her decision as the party lost its seventh MLA in about two weeks.
- On Monday, Chilliwack-Cultus Lake MLA A'aliya Warbus announced she is leaving the B.C. Conservative caucus to sit as an Independent, citing loss of confidence in Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
- Her departure marks the seventh Conservative MLA to exit the caucus this month, including five last week, following concerns about Findlay's leadership style and staff turnover.
- Warbus criticized the Sunday cancellation of a caucus meeting, stating it reflects the "lack of value" Findlay placed on caucus members' opinions and signals deeper dysfunction.

- Premier David Eby called a by-election in Abbotsford-Mission for September 26, a riding Findlay was expected to contest, while Findlay denies allegations she pressured MLAs to resign.
