The B.C. NDP caucus meets to discuss an interim leader after its election loss
NDP before
47 seats
NDP now
28 seats
The NDP caucus fell to 28 members from 47, while the B.C. Conservatives hold a two-thirds majority with 63 seats.
Outgoing Premier David Eby announced his resignation as party leader in his election-night concession speech. It is not clear whether he will attend Thursday's meeting.
Why it matters
Geoff Meggs, a former chief of staff to John Horgan, says the next leader faces a “reputational challenge” of proving the party can be trusted with taxpayers' money.
