Seven members of the B.C. Conservative Party’s top decision-making team are calling on party Leader John Rustad to resign.

In an Oct. 21 letter, the B.C. Conservative Party’s board of directors management committee describes a state of disorder in the party since it became B.C.’s Official Opposition last fall, saying that Rustad has failed to unite members. The letter called on him to step down as leader “immediately.”
