The B.C. Liberal Party is getting a facelift.
Party leader Kevin Falcon, is set to introduce a new name - BC United - along with a new logo and branding tonight at a ceremony in Surrey.
Party vice-president Caroline Elliott said Monday the Liberals will go ahead with the name change with confidence that New Democrat Premier David Eby will not call an early election this year.
"David Eby, the premier, has sworn up and down he will not be calling an election sooner than the fixed election date and he will not be breaking the fixed election date law as his predecessor did," said Elliot in an interview.
"We're going to be taking him at his word," said Elliott. "We're going to hope he keeps that promise but at the same time we're going to be ready."
The move was first announced in November when the party said that 80 percent of Liberal members voted to proceed with the name change.
