The list keeps growing until nominations close on Saturday, October 3, 2026. A majority of the legislature is 47 of 93 seats. CanWest Party does not have candidates in enough districts to reach one yet. 2 OF 93 SEATS CONTESTED ## MLA [**Keenan Yang**](https://voche.me/bc/provincial-2026/candidates/keenan-yang) [**Lawrence Chen**](https://voche.me/bc/provincial-2026/candidates/lawrence-chen) ### How a candidate is linked to a party Only the official Elections BC candidate list decides which party a candidate belongs to on this site. A party's own list of candidates is not enough on its own, and a candidate running with no party is never attached to one. ## Sources A source marked SAYS SO ITSELF is the party's own material. It proves what the party claims, not that the claim is true. 1.
