Canadian politician


Walter Percival "Percy" Wright (March 19, 1909 – September 1, 1992) was a Canadian politician. He won one of the three seats in the electoral district of Victoria City for the British Columbia Social Credit Party during the 1953 British Columbia general election[1] but did not serve. He resigned on October 19, 1953, to provide a seat to the Minister of Finance, Einar Maynard Gunderson; however, Gunderson was unsuccessful in the resulting by-election held on November 24, 1953, and the Liberal George Gregory won the seat instead. Wright did not run in any subsequent provincial or federal elections.
