Another candidate for the BC United Party nomination for the Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream riding has dropped out of the race.
Adam Wilson, who was the first to officially announce his candidacy, released a statement Monday (Oct. 23) saying recent changes for him and his family have resulted in this no longer being the right time to be battling in a nomination election.
Wilson becomes the second nomination candidate, joining Kelowna city councillor Mohini Singh, who has stepped aside from the nomination race.
The remaining declared candidates are entrepreneur Binny Boparai, Regional District of North Okanagan board vice-chair Amanda Shatzko, Kelowna business owner Pavneet Singh and lawyer and real estate agent Bal Grewal.

He was not available for further comment as of Monday.
When Singh, who along with Wilson were the first two candidates to formally declare their candidacy for the nomination, announced her decision to withdraw from the nomination election earlier this month, she noted the nomination process has been challenging in ways she did not expect.

While the provincial election is still a year away, the BC United Party riding constituency has yet to set a date for the nomination election meeting.
