FOUR CANDIDATES VYING FOR THE BC LIBERAL NOMINATION IN PENTICTON – RESULTS SHOULD BE KNOWN BY 4PM SATURDAY
BC Liberal Party has announced the official slate of candidates seeking the nomination in Penticton.
The candidates include the Mayor of Summerland Janice Perrino, the past president of the BC School Trustees Association Connie Denesiuk, the Mayor of Penticton Dan Ashton, and local businessman Mark Ziebarth.
“I’m very pleased to have four strong candidates come forward and compete for the BC Liberal nomination in Penticton,” said current Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff. “These are quality candidates and I’m sure any one of them would make an excellent MLA.”
The BC Liberals have been busy nominating new candidates and returning MLAs across the province since July.
The new Penticton candidate will join the growing rank of candidates at the Party’s 2012 Convention in Whistler between October 25th and 27th. The Party is expecting a strong group of delegates for this year’s Convention, with over 750 already registered.
In the riding to the south, Okanagan Boundary, MLA John Slater says he is running but no official word from the party on whether a nomination meeting will be held prior to the election.
