David Eby, expected to be named NDP party leader and premier-designate on Friday, acknowledges his win — through the disqualification of his only challenger — comes with mixed feelings
David Eby plans to lay out his 100-day plan after he’s named NDP leader and premier-designate Friday, but acknowledges his win — through the disqualification of his only challenger in a race that has splintered the party — comes with mixed feelings.
“On the other hand, you know, my competitor in this race, a young woman committed to one of the most significant issues of our time, got a lot of people involved in the party — and this is not how any of us expected this leadership contest to end, so it’s mixed feelings for me for sure.
She congratulated Eby on becoming premier and said she heard him say some “encouraging things” on climate change. But at a news conference Thursday, Horgan strongly defended the NDP party executive, saying he’s confident its work has been thorough. “So this is not about backrooms from the 1960s,” said Horgan. “This is about contemporary B.C.ers making decisions in the best interests of the province.” Asked why the names of the provincial executive were not made public, he said he did not want to expose volunteers to ridicule and abuse. “Because they’re being inundated by … Green party members saying we want to take over your party,” he said. “Leave them alone.
Horgan called Eby one of the hardest-working members of his cabinet and hardest-working critic when the party was in opposition.
