VANCOUVER — There will not be an early provincial election in British Columbia despite resounding victories for New Democrat Party candidates in a pair of byelections over the weekend, Premier David Eby said on Monday.
When asked about the possibility of calling an election this fall after his party's candidates won handily in the ridings of Vancouver-Mount Pleasant and Langford-Juan de Fuca, Eby said he has no interest in doing so.Eby said the victories of Joan Phillip in Vancouver-Mount Pleasant and Ravi Parmar in Langford-Juan de Fuca reflected the quality of NDP's candidates in each race.
Phillip secured Vancouver-Mount Pleasant with 68 per cent of the vote, while Parmar was elected with 53 per cent in Langford-Juan de Fuca, former premier John Horgan's old riding. Eby declined to comment on the situation developing between the opposition parties, saying that while his party's candidates did "exceptionally well" on Saturday, the NDP should not be "sidetracked into partisan politics concerns."
