Eby said the NDP is preparing for the fall session as seven MLAs left the Conservatives in August over leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
- Premier David Eby declined to rule out a snap election during a Burnaby news conference on Tuesday, citing the Conservative Party's instability as context for his remarks.
- Internal instability grips the Conservative Party after seven MLAs resigned in August, leaving the caucus with 14 fewer members than the 44 elected in 2024.
- The Abbotsford-Mission byelection is scheduled for September 26, with Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay facing NDP candidate Pam Alexis following Reann Gasper's resignation.
- On Tuesday, Eby claimed Gasper "bluntly, completely failed to serve the people of Abbotsford-Mission," adding he called the byelection "as quickly as possible."
- Dismissing requests for a "flat out yes or no" on an early election, Eby maintained his focus remains on delivering for British Columbians as the fall session approaches.
