In a fresh blow to British Columbia's political landscape, Member of the Legislative Assembly Bruce Banman has officially announced his departure from the BC Conservative Party.

Announcing his exit, Banman emphasized the pressing need for broader consensus over strict party lines. 'The goal in politics is to make the tent bigger. To listen to the majority. It’s not about left or right. It’s about doing what’s right,' he stated.

His abrupt departure marks yet another notable shakeup within the caucus, raising fresh questions regarding the party's internal cohesion.
