There are still no official candidates for leader of the BC Liberals, but the race is set to heat up this weekend when former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts is expected to announce her candidacy. She'll be followed by Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Andrew Wilkinson, who will enter the race on Monday. Like several potential candidates to replace former premier Christy Clark, Wilkinson has been cagey about his intentions in interviews. Other potential candidates include former cabinet ministers MLAs Todd Stone, Mike de Jong and rookie Liberal MLA Michael Lee. The party has announced a leadership debate on Oct. 15 and an official leadership candidate event in Vancouver on Sept. 29.
