Peter Milobar, a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Kamloops, leaves the B.C. Conservative Party and says he will sit as an Independent in the provincial legislature. Milobar made the change in a statement, saying he has been entrusted by residents of Kamloops and the surrounding area to represent them in Victoria since 2017.
Business in Vancouver reports that Milobar served as the B.C. opposition finance critic and that his decision follows his departure from the B.C. Conservatives, which are led by Kerry-Lynne Findlay. The outlet frames his move as being tied to differences in values. Global News focuses on Milobar’s explanation of his continued responsibility to his constituents, without emphasizing the party leadership or the specific reasons for the split in detail.
Across the two accounts, both outlets agree on the central outcome: Milobar exits the B.C. Conservatives and remains in the legislature as an Independent, representing the Kamloops area.
