VANCOUVER — One of two candidates running for the British Columbia NDP leadership has been disqualified, clearing the way for former attorney general David Eby to become premier of the province.
A news release Wednesday following a meeting of the NDP executive and issued on behalf of party president Aaron Sumexheltza said Anjali Appadurai is out of the running for the leadership as a sanction for violating the rules.
He said this has been a challenging period for members of the party and he thanked Cull and the party's table officers and the executive for their dedication.Board members met for several hours Wednesday night before releasing the decision. "The party has their process around ensuring the fairness of the race. They're going to focus on that process. I have confidence in them to be able to do that," he said at an event in Vancouver.
She said her team used grassroots organizing to sign up thousands of new members to vote in the race — significantly more than Eby. Appadurai said earlier she did not have an exact estimate of the numbers of new NDP members her campaign signed up, but suggested it could be as high as 14,000. Cull highlighted an Aug. 6 Zoom meeting Appadurai held with supporters, including Dogwood, where she challenged those in attendance to recruit members and Dogwood committed to using its resources."Dogwood’s sign-up drive followed multiple conversations with Elections BC compliance officers," the statement says.
According to Cull's report, an audit of five per cent of the B.C. NDP membership as it stood on July 1 found 98.5 per cent of the members contacted were deemed to have valid memberships.
