“As there is only one approved candidate in the leadership race, the CEO is considering moving up the election date and will have more to say on this tomorrow,” the statement said. Before the vote Wednesday, Appadurai urged the party executive not to use what she called an undemocratic “nuclear option” to disqualify her.
“And so, the party had a choice. Let all the members of the party, new and old, choose the next leader and risk having a climate champion in the premier seat or take this undemocratic approach and disqualify the candidate,” Appadurai said at a news conference in Vancouver on Wednesday before the decision was announced.
Appadurai told reporters a ruling against her campaign could be fought in an appeal process, but the campaign hasn’t decided if it would do so. “Third parties like unions, businesses, faith groups and NGOs are allowed to encourage supporters to join a political party. Social movements are core to grassroots democracy in B.C., and sign-up drives are part of every leadership race.”
