Andrew Wilkinson steps down after party's poor performance

BC Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson has announced his resignation after the party's worst election loss in decades.

Wilkinson says he'll step down as soon as a replacement is selected.

He took no questions at a news conference today following the party's loss of about a dozen seats in Saturday's election.

The former provincial cabinet minster took over as party leader in 2018 after Christy Clark stepped down when the Liberals lost power after the 2017 election.
