RAVI Kahlon, Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation and MLA for Delta North, on Wednesday said that he will not seek the leadership of the BC NDP and instead endorsed David Eby, Attorney General, for the position.

He said: “I called my friend David Eby and encouraged him to seek the leadership. David is someone who I admire, someone with integrity, passion and is the right person to be our next Premier and carry on the important work we are doing to build a Stronger BC.”

Kahlon said: “I want to thank everyone who reached out to provide words of encouragement as I considered seeking leadership of the BC New Democrats and Premier of the Province of British Columbia.

“After careful consideration with my family, we have come to the decision that now is not the time for us.”
