The leader says he's staying.
The so-called dissidents say he has to be gone, by the weekend.
It's been a truly topsy-turvy day for the embattled BC Conservative Party.
John Cummins has issued a couple of statements today, one saying the BC Conservative party is in its best ever shape, financially.
His second statement says 14 active members of the party had resigned as of his noon deadline, while the party had gained more than 380 members since early September.
Dissidents say Cummins can't lead the party and big league status, and they want him to step down by the weekend.
But it's not clear what they plan to do if he refuses to leave.
