Lamb, who organized the convention and is a partner in the law firm Clark Wilson has been tapped to become president of the party if re-elected to council, which could give B.C. more influence in the party.

The results were announced Saturday to nearly 400 B.C. delegates at this weekend’s convention at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

At the convention Saturday, Lamb would not comment on what changes he’d like to see if he becomes president of the party, but said that “absolutely” he believed they could win back the seats lost in the last election. Many party members want to see change after the Liberal Party dominated the 2015 election, taking 60 seats from the Conservative Party and 51 seats from the New Democratic Party. In B.C., the Conservatives won back only 10 of 21 seats.
