British Columbia Attorney General David Eby is currently the only contender who has confirmed his intention to run as a candidate to become the next B.C. NDP leader and premier, after the incumbent John Horgan recently announced he will be stepping down due to health reasons.

B.C. NDP President Aaron Sumexheltza announced in a statement last week that the party’s leadership campaign will run from July 17 to Dec. 3, 2022, at which time the party will announce the new premier. NDP members can begin voting as of Nov. 13.
