VANCOUVER—The new leader of the British Columbia Liberals says he’s on his way to Victoria with promises that will rebuild the party and attract voters while he also seeks his own seat in the legislature.

Party members acknowledge that Kevin Falcon has a big renewal job ahead, as the Liberals have lost two consecutive elections after holding power for 16 years. Falcon is the party’s third leader since 2017.
