Annelise Beach
Annelise Beach is the BC Green candidate for Kamloops Centre, filed with Elections BC for the October 24, 2026 election. The financial agent on the list is Brittany Corby, at the party’s Victoria post-office box. The BC Green candidate page had not posted a biography for her at the time of this profile. No earlier candidacy turned up in records checked. Detailed public biographical coverage beyond the nomination filing remains limited.
Mike Wisla
Mike Wisla is the BC NDP candidate for Kamloops Centre. Castanet reported that the party introduced him on October 1, 2026 as a political newcomer. He is 64, a former Ashcroft teacher, and a senior labour relations officer for occupational health and safety with the Health Sciences Association. He told reporters he has also worked in mining and forestry and is running so Kamloops is represented as work already underway continues. He faces Conservative incumbent Peter Milobar, who won the riding in 2024.
Peter Milobar
Peter Milobar is the Conservative Party of B.C. candidate for Kamloops Centre and the sitting MLA for the riding (elected 2024).

Rocky McAfee
Rocky McAfee is the OneBC candidate for Kamloops Centre on Elections BC’s accepted nominations list for the October 24, 2026 provincial election (candidate report stamped October 3, 2026, 2:00 p.m.). Castanet Kamloops reported on October 2, 2026 that OneBC said it had selected candidates for both Kamloops ridings but had not yet released names; McAfee’s filing for Kamloops Centre appears on the subsequent Elections BC update (Deborah Friesen remains OneBC’s nominee in neighbouring Kamloops-North Thompson). OneBC’s public candidates page did not yet list him at the time of research, and no independent profile of his occupation or prior candidacy was found.
Thaelo Proctor
Thaelo Proctor is the Independent candidate for Kamloops Centre on Elections BC’s accepted nominations list for the October 24, 2026 provincial election (candidate report stamped October 3, 2026, 7:00 p.m.). Elections BC had briefly listed him under Kelowna Centre on the 6:00 p.m. report; the 7:00 p.m. update places him in Kamloops Centre with Conservative Peter Milobar, NDP Mike Wisla, BC Green Annelise Beach, and OneBC Rocky McAfee. Castanet Kamloops (Sept. 29, 2026) profiled him as a 23-year-old carpenter preparing an independent bid aimed at Kamloops Centre—growing up in Kamloops (North Shore and Brocklehurst schools), working about four years as a carpenter on the Sunshine Coast, then returning to the area about a year and a half before the campaign—with no previous political experience and a volunteer-heavy “service-first” approach. His nomination financial-agent address on the Elections BC report is in Kamloops.
