Darrell Jones is out.

The former grocery executive, who had announced his bid for the leadership of the BC Conservative Party in January, has withdrawn from the race.

Jones says the party needs to come together to defeat the NDP.

Like Harman Bhangu, who also threw his hat in the ring but pulled out March 16, Jones is endorsing Caroline Elliott.

“We’re aligned on key priorities: working with small businesses and industry, reducing the cost of government, and tackling the economic challenges hitting young people hardest,” Jones posted on social media Saturday.

“Caroline has the leadership, integrity, and work ethic to build a strong team and deliver results for British Columbians.”

A poll released earlier this month showed Peter Milobar is a clear frontrunner in the race for leadership of the party.
