Centre BC Leader Elenore Sturko Running in Surrey South for Provincial Election
Sturko says CentreBC offers an alternative to voters unhappy with the NDP and Conservatives, after her office handled more than 1,500 public cases.
On Friday, Sept. 25, CentreBC Party leader Elenore Sturko announced her candidacy for Surrey South, the riding where she was first elected in a 2022 byelection.
After being removed from the BC Conservative caucus last September, Sturko joined CentreBC earlier this month, citing the "chaos of the Conservatives over the last two years" as reason voters seek stability.
During her time in Surrey South and Surrey-Cloverdale, Sturko handled more than 1,500 cases assisting the public with government services, noting she "loved serving the people of Cloverdale."
Positioning her party as an alternative, Sturko argued many voters feel alienated by the major parties, claiming residents oppose another four years of the NDP after nine years in power.
Regarding potential rivals, former Conservative MLA Brent Chapman has defected to the OneBC Party, though his website lists a non-existent riding rather than Surrey South or Surrey-White Rock.
