A former New Democrat cabinet minister says he is joining the Opposition BC United, saying his former party no longer champions rural British Columbia.
Harry Lali, who was the NDP's transportation and highways minister in the late 1990s, says in a statement the New Democrats are now an urban interest party with little focus on issues and challenges facing rural communities.
The 68-year-old ran unsuccessfully for the NDP in the Fraser-Nicola riding in 2017, despite former premier John Horgan asking him not to run.
