September 21st, 2026
Vancouver, BC – The Vancouver Centre Conservative Association has received confirmation from Conservative Party of Canada headquarters in Ottawa that Ms. Allan has withdrawn her candidacy in our riding. We understand that this decision relates to matters unrelated to the Conservative Party of Canada.
We would like to thank Elaine for putting her name forward to represent Vancouver Centre and for the time and effort she has dedicated to our community. We also extend our sincere thanks to the volunteers and supporters who worked alongside her and contributed their time, energy, and enthusiasm.
The Vancouver Centre Conservative Association remains strong, active, and united. We have a wonderful community of members and volunteers who enjoy working together, and the work of our local association continues. We look forward to building on that sense of community and continuing the friendships, events, and activities that bring our members together.
We are grateful to everyone who contributes their time and energy to Vancouver Centre, and we appreciate the continued dedication and patience of our members and supporters as the party works through the next steps.
We appreciate that our members, volunteers, and supporters may have questions. At this time, we don’t have any additional information to share, and all official comments and media inquiries should be directed to Conservative Party of Canada headquarters in Ottawa.
Thank you for your understanding.
