A new political party looks set to carve out space on the centre-right of Vancouver’s political spectrum.

In an open letter posted Wednesday afternoon to his official Facebook page, Hector Bremner says he and his team are “looking into what would be required to create a new municipal political party.”

Bremner is the Non-Partisan Association city councillor who was recently rejected by his own party as a potential mayoral candidate.

Last week, he writes, he met with a “wide group of supporters.”

“(From) that we‘ve had an incredible group of people step up to help shape our future.

“This movement has never been about just me or just winning. It has always been about building a city where working people can afford to not just live in, but thrive.

“We all agreed that our #LetsFixHousing movement cannot be stopped. We have been getting more calls of support than ever before.”

Mike Wilson, Bremner’s campaign manager, told Postmedia that out of respect for the NPA’s process nothing would happen until after the NPA holds its nomination meeting, currently set for June 3.
