NDP choose B.C. MP Don Davies as interim leader

The New Democratic Party named B.C. MP Don Davies as interim leader on the evening following the April 28 federal election.
This appointment followed Jagmeet Singh's resignation after he lost his Burnaby Central seat and the party fell to seven seats.
Davies, a Vancouver-Kingsway MP since 2008 and former finance critic, will guide the party while preparing for a leadership race in coming months.
In the April 28 election, Davies won 37.2% of the vote in his riding, while NDP lost official party status by falling below 12 seats in the House of Commons.
Davies will work with caucus and party members to rebuild after the party’s worst electoral performance, which ended years of legislative influence under Singh.
