Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Elenore Sturko has been expelled from the B.C. Conservative caucus, a move that comes the same day that Leader John Rustad survived his leadership review with 70.66 percent support.

Rustad told reporters on Sept.22 he decided to drop Sturko from caucus after learning that he had won the leadership review, citing a need for the party to be “united.” He secured victory in 78 out of the 93 ridings, lost in 10 ridings, and tied in three. There were no votes cast in two ridings.
