On December 15, 2025, Global News B.C. airs an interview with former grocery executive Darrell Jones. Jones says he is "contemplating" putting himself forward to become the new leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia.
Jones spent 49 years working for the Pattison Food Group and is probably best known for “Darrell’s Deals" commercials for Save-on-Foods.
“Today, we need better leadership or great leadership in the province of British Columbia that’s focused on sustainability of our province and the goodness for the people of British Columbia, and unity within all British Columbians,” he told Global News.
Jones said the economy is critical to every British Columbian, with lower taxes and the chance for everyone to succeed.
The B.C. Conservative Party leadership became open on December 4, 2025, when John Rustad resigned as Leader after a revolt against his leadership from within the caucus of elected Conservative members of the B.C. Legislature.
