It is “disappointing that a real leadership contest is looking less and less likely,” says B.C. Green party MLA Adam Olsen
he was in the race to replace retiring Premier John Horgan as leader of the B.C. NDP — which would result in Eby becoming premier until at least the next election.
Kahlon and Ma have both publicly backed Eby, who is Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Housing. “A leadership contest is a core element of democracy, giving people a choice between different polices and approaches,” he said.Article contentIn 2017, the two parties formed a coalition needed for Horgan to take the role of premier because the party did not have enough seat on its own to rule after the election that ended the political career of Liberal premier Christy Clark. At that point the Greens had three MLA’s — including then-leader Andrew Weaver — who stepped down in January 2020.
