SURREY Mayor Dianne Watts announced on Wednesday that she will be seeking the Conservative nomination for the Surrey-White Rock federal riding, thus ending speculation that she might join the federal Liberals.

On Wednesday afternoon Watts was seen by some South Asians with federal Liberal fixer Prem Vinning (also known as Peter – remember the radio impersonation incident with then-premier Gordon Campbell?!) at a small cafe just near Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains’ constituency office.

Many wondered if with the Liberals under Justin Trudeau in Number 1 position in Canada, as all polls have shown consistently for months, Watts would join that party.

But in the evening she said she would join the Conservatives.

Watts will no longer be able to canvas for Surrey First.
