Twenty members of B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad’s caucus say they’ve lost confidence in him and want him out.

A letter from lawyer Bruce Hallsor to Aisha Estey, the president of the Conservative Party of B.C., says the MLAs who represent a majority of the 39-member caucus are calling for his removal and the appointment of an interim leader.

The letter, which has been authenticated by Estey, says Hallsor has been asked for the moment to keep the identity of the 20 members confidential, but he’s in possession of their “individually executed” statements.

The caucus revolt comes after the party’s board members and riding executives urged Rustad to leave.
