Ex-B.C. finance minister Mike de Jong has been campaigning for nearly a year to get the Conservative Party of Canada nomination in Abbotsford-South Langley .

De Jong won eight terms in the legislature, serving as finance minister, attorney general and several other portfolios.

He said the party informed him with a “ three -line message” that it wouldn’t allow him to contest the nomination in the riding.

He says he was puzzled that the federal Conservative party had deemed him “unworthy”.
