The board of Vancouver's Non-Partisan Association has rejected councillor Hector Bremner's application to run for the party's mayoral nomination. Bremner was considered a strong contender for the NPA's nomination due to the number of members he signed up in becoming the party's council candidate in a 2017 byelection. In a subsequent Facebook post, Bremner said he would be meeting with supporters before announcing future moves. A Bremner supporter and prospective candidate for an NPA council nomination, Adrian Crook, has said in response that he will no longer seek the NPA's nomination as a result. I feel we are forging ahead with an open nomination mayoral race, May 29th," he said.
