The BC New Republican Party was a minor political party in British Columbia, Canada, between 2017 and 2019. It was founded in January 2017 and was based in Richmond with Wei Chen as its leader. Chen had previously been the leader of the Nation Alliance Party[1] and a candidate for the BC Conservative Party in the 2013 general election.[2]
