More signs of turmoil within the BC Liberal party.
Surrey-Fleetwood Liberal candidate Peter Fassbender says his riding association president, and former MLA, Brenda Locke has resigned, but he knew that was coming.
Fassbender also says the riding association presidents in Surrey-Green Timbers and Surrey Whalley are also on the way out.
He says he doesn't know the individual circumstances in those cases but says "...this too shall pass."
CKNW's been told those people are unhappy with the leaked strategy on how to attract the ethic vote and the candidate selection process.
BC Liberal Party campaign director Mike McDonald says they party has not had three resignations today.
He says the president of the Surrey Fleetwood riding association let the party know on February 7th that she intended on stepping down because of other committments in her life.
As far as the other two, he says ".....no letters of resignation were received as of this morning."
But he goes on to say a letter may be on the way from Surrey Green Timbers....it just hasn't arrived yet.
