Lorne Doerkson takes the reins of B.C. Conservatives, with a party to rebuild and election ahead

Lorne Doerkson has been appointed interim leader of the B.C. Conservative Party after Kerry-Lynne Findlay's resignation amid internal turmoil. With a snap election set for October 24, Doerkson aims to unify the party and improve its public image, despite skepticism about its readiness to govern. Polls show the Conservatives leading, but many voters remain uncertain about their leadership.
