B.C. premier-designate Lorne Doerkson has announced the appointment of Angelo Isidorou as his principal secretary ahead of officially taking office on November 20.
Isidorou is one of the key strategists credited with helping the B.C. Conservative Party rise to power. He previously served as the party’s executive director and campaign manager, playing a significant role in its growth under former leader John Rustad. The party, which secured less than two per cent of the vote in 2020, has now formed the provincial government.
In another key appointment, Doerkson has named Ellie Blades as his deputy chief of staff. The newly appointed officials will help guide the incoming government's priorities and work towards fulfilling the commitments made to the people of British Columbia.
