B.C. Attorney General David Eby expected to announce NDP leadership bid
David Eby — the perceived frontrunner to replace John Horgan as B.C. Premier — may be officially joining the race tonight .According to a news release, the attorney general will be “joined by friends and colleagues” for an announcement this evening.The announcement comes after the B.C. NDP released the rules of the campaign to replace Horgan as leader.
The deadline for NDP leadership bids is Sept. 4. Voting would begin in mid-November and the winner would be announced on Dec. 3. The new leader would be sworn in as Premier in mid-December. So far, the campaign is shaping up to be more of a coronation than a race. Several notable cabinet ministers like Ravi Kahlon, Bowinn Ma, Selina Robinson, Melanie Mark, George Hayman and Nathan Cullen have already bowed out of the race. Both Kahlon and Ma expressed their support for Eby in their statements.
