StudioX News · Harnaik Singh Rathor · September 28, 2026
StudioX News says the BC NDP announced Kang in a release that named five candidates. voche.me did not find that release on the party's releases page on 2026-10-02, so the quote below rests on StudioX News. StudioX News also reports that the party describes him as a member of the PICS Society board. voche.me has not confirmed that role, his degrees, his clinics or his registration as a physiotherapist. His Facebook and Instagram accounts, linked from his campaign page, need a login to read, so nothing from them is used. Searches for his name also return a LinkedIn profile for a person with the same name; no page ties it to this candidacy, so nothing from it is used. voche.me found no interview, platform of his own, campaign finance report or endorsement on 2026-10-02. Nominations close October 3, 2026, so other candidates may still be added. The questionnaire has not been sent.
