Wilkinson must explain candidate’s role in alleged voter fraud plan: Kahlon

Share On

BC NDP candidate Ravi Kahlon has written a letter to B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson on Thursday, to seek clarity on BC Liberal candidate from Surrey-Fleetwood, Garry Thind’s role in his campaign’s alleged plan to illegally request mail-in ballots on behalf of other people.

Talking to journalists over telephone, Kahlon said that Wilkinson avoided a direct question about Thind’s knowledge of the plan on Wednesday.

Kahlon said that the BC Liberals have fired the campaign worker involved, but have not disclosed any information on Thind’s involvement.

The letter seeks the information that Wilkinson has about Garry Thind’s alleged involvement in the scheme and questions Wilkinson if the whole scheme was stopped proactively or not.

The letter written has asked Wilkinson to clarify on the following points:

"1. Tell British Columbians what your party knows about Thind’s knowledge of this

activity

2. Release the full chain of WhatsApp messages so people can see how Thind and

other campaign workers responded after this direction was issued

3. Disclose whether Thind or anyone else from the campaign corrected this

direction proactively, or whether they only did so after they were caught

4. Disclose the amount of time that passed between this direction being issued and

it being corrected."
