The BC Conservative Party’s leadership review is taking place under a cloud as party insiders allege thousands of fake memberships have been used to try to influence the outcome of the vote.
Leader John Rustad is facing a leadership review, as is routine after an election. But his leadership has faced questions and dissent from inside the party, which saw an unprecedented rise in support in the last year.
More than 2,000 votes are alleged to have appeared in the final days of voting in Kelowna. A source, not authorized to speak publicly, tells us the area previously had about 600 active members in the party.
Materials supplied to 1130 NewsRadio reveal that new members were signed up over the course of a few days at the end of August, when voting in the riding was set to wrap up.
