David Eby became British Columbia's premier-in-waiting on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, when executives of the NDP disqualified his sole party leadership rival, Anjali Appadurai, on the strength of a report into her campaign by the party's chief electoral officer, Elizabeth Cull.

B.C.'s premier-in-waiting says the supporters of his disqualified rival can find a home in the party he is set to lead.

Time will tell whether Anjali Appadurai’s martyrdom ends up costing the BC NDP the next election, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

One of two candidates running for the British Columbia NDP leadership has been disqualified, clearing the way for former attorney general David Eby to become premier of the province.
