Few days after BC’s Premier announced that he will not be seeking re-elections due to his health, the experts, common people and pundits have been identifying possible contenders for NDP leadership and BC’s top position.
However, Delta North MLA and BC’s job minister Ravi Kahlon, has withdrawn from the potential runners list even before the race started. He said in a statement, “I want to thank everyone who reached out to provide words of encouragement as I considered seeking leadership of the BC New Democrats and Premier of the Province of British Columbia.
He said after careful consideration with my family, they came to the decision that “now is not the time for us.”
“Following this decision, I called my friend David Eby and encouraged him to seek the leadership. David is someone who I admire, someone with integrity, passion and is the right person to be our next Premier and carry on the important work we are doing to build a Stronger BC,” he said.
