The party’s 42-person provincial council voted Wednesday night to back an investigation by its chief electoral officer and disqualify David Eby’s only competition.
There’s no other way to describe the BC NDP leadership race, which limped over the finish line on Wednesday evening, a jumbled tangle of self-inflicted wounds, bitter internal fights and spectacular implosions.
“And so until that point, this race was welcomed by everyone involved. But as soon as there was leverage of a potential win, I believe that the pieces were put in place to disqualify me from the race.”Appadurai was always supposed to lose – her victory simply was not tenable in a party where almost all the MLAs and cabinet ministers had endorsed the other guy.
It’s also true that Appadurai and those around her appear to have played fast and loose with the rules, according to an investigation by NDP chief electoral officer Elizabeth Cull. Dogwood knew what it was doing. Communications director Kai Nagata publicly admitted he carefully designed a strategy that took advantage of what he thought were gaps in B.C.’s election laws and party race rules. He miscalculated.
“This has been a challenging period for members of the party,” said BC NDP president Aaron Sumexheltza, in what is most certainly an understatement.
