Conservative Party of B.C. leadership candidate Yuri Fulmer and OneBC Leader Dallas Brodie have announced a formal political pact aimed at uniting right-leaning voters and defeating Premier David Eby and the governing BC New Democratic Party in the next provincial election.
The agreement, dubbed the “Unite the Right Accord,” lays out a coordinated electoral strategy between the Conservative Party of B.C. and OneBC, with both parties pledging to avoid vote-splitting in most ridings.
Under the terms of the accord, OneBC would not run candidates in 88 of the province’s 93 electoral districts if Fulmer wins the Conservative leadership. In exchange, the Conservatives would step aside in five targeted ridings to give OneBC a clearer path to victory. The deal also includes a commitment from OneBC to enter into a formal confidence-and-supply agreement to support a future Conservative government led by Fulmer.
Both leaders framed the agreement as a response to concerns that a divided conservative vote could hand another majority to the NDP.
“British Columbians are desperate for real change, but they are concerned that a split vote will hand the NDP another majority,” Brodie said in a statement. “Today, we have resolved those concerns.”
Brodie added that while OneBC will remain an independent party, she is endorsing Fulmer’s leadership bid, calling him “the only candidate” capable of uniting the movement and advancing key policy priorities.
Fulmer, in his statement, described the accord as a blueprint for building a “winning coalition,” contrasting it with what he characterized as political division among establishment figures in Victoria.
“We are putting this accord in writing for the entire province to see because voters deserve absolute certainty,” Fulmer said. He also warned that the agreement hinges on his leadership victory, arguing that selecting another candidate could fracture the coalition and benefit the NDP.
The accord is explicitly conditional on Fulmer becoming leader of the Conservative Party of B.C. If another candidate wins, the agreement would not take effect.
Political observers note that while similar “unite the right” efforts have emerged in Canadian politics in the past, the success of this agreement will depend on leadership dynamics within the Conservative Party and whether voters coalesce around a single alternative to the NDP.
The development comes as the Conservative leadership race itself remains highly competitive, including in the Interior. Recent polling commissioned by the campaign of Kamloops Centre MLA Peter Milobar suggests a tight contest, with leadership candidate Caroline Elliott leading in first-choice support but Milobar potentially emerging as the overall winner through second-preference rankings under the party’s preferential ballot system.
The same polling indicates that affordability and cost-of-living concerns are the top priorities among party members, and that a significant portion of voters remain undecided ahead of the vote. The leadership contest is scheduled to conclude May 30, a result that will determine whether the Unite the Right Accord ultimately takes effect.
My friends, this is how we win.
When we bring Conservatives together, we can protect this party and build this province.
