Update: Liberal Party says Beach never green-lit nor acclaimed officially as candidate in Cariboo-Prince George

Earlier: Chris Beach has been disqualified as the Liberal candidate in Cariboo -Prince George.

Beach says he was notified via a short email. This after he launched his campaign last week in Prince George.

In a social media post, Beach says he was “rejected without any explanation, after having been told repeatedly I was the one and only candidate for the Liberal Party in Cariboo-Prince George.

“The only plausible explanation that I can come up with at this point is that I was too critical of former Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and current Premier, David Eby, in my past history as an active BC Liberal Party member & TV & radio political analyst.”

He adds that “like former BC Premier Christy Clark, I have been passed on by the Liberal Party for former Green Party candidates and former NDP MLAs. This is the Liberal Party’s choice to make. I just wish they had been transparent, honest, and professional from day one, rather than the complete opposite.”

No word yet on who the party’s candidate will be. We have reached out to the Liberal Party but have yet to hear back.

Declared candidates in the riding are Conservative incumbent Todd Doherty, the NDP’s Angie Bonazzo, Jodie Capling with the Green Party, and Jake Wiens with the Christian Heritage Party.

Election day is scheduled for April 28.
