B.C. seen as ‘final frontier’ for federal NDP as leadership question looms
- The federal NDP faces a leadership question after a devastating election last month that reduced its seats from 25 to 7 and caused a 59% popular vote collapse.
- This decline followed Jagmeet Singh losing his seat and resigning as leader amid concerns about the party drifting from its working-class roots and images conflicting with that base.
- Observers including Geoff Meggs and Kareem Allam emphasize the need for renewal focused on reconnecting with working-class voters and recent immigrants while addressing challenges posed by Donald Trump and political rivals.
- Meggs identified former Alberta premier Rachel Notley as a formidable potential leader who could bring new energy, though her interest is unknown, and stressed the leader should have political experience and ideally French proficiency.
- British Columbia, governed by Premier David Eby, represents a critical region with three of seven NDP MPs and is seen by many as the ‘final frontier’ where the party’s future rebuilding efforts will be crucial.
