Kamloops, B.C. – After facing mounting pressure and calls for his resignation, embattled Mayor of Kamloops, Ken Christian, has announced that he will be discussing the possibility of stepping down from his position.
The decision comes after a tumultuous few weeks for Christian, who has been facing criticism and backlash for his handling of several controversial issues in the city.
In a statement released by his office, Christian acknowledged the growing concerns and stated that he will be taking the time to carefully consider his next steps.
“I understand that there have been concerns raised about my leadership and I take them very seriously,” Christian said. “I will be discussing the possibility of resigning with my family and close advisors in the coming days.”
The calls for Christian’s resignation began after a series of controversial decisions, including the approval of a controversial development project and the handling of a sexual harassment complaint against a city councillor.
The mayor’s decision to consider stepping down has been met with mixed reactions from the community. Some have expressed relief and hope for a fresh start for the city, while others have voiced their support for Christian and his contributions to the community.
Christian, who has been in office since 2017, has not yet set a timeline for his decision. However, he has assured the public that he will keep them informed of any developments.
In the meantime, the city council will continue to operate as usual and address any pressing issues that may arise.
This news comes as a surprise to many, as Christian had previously stated that he had no intention of resigning. However, it appears that the mounting pressure and criticism have caused him to reconsider his position.
As the situation continues to unfold, the people of Kamloops will be eagerly awaiting the mayor’s final decision and the potential impact it may have on the city’s future.
