B.C. Greens leadership nomination deadline imminent, sitting MLAs out

The B.C. Green Party is holding a leadership race with nominations closing on June 14, 2025, after former leader Sonia Furstenau stepped down earlier this year.
Furstenau resigned in January 2025 after losing her legislative seat in the 2024 fall election, prompting interim leader Jeremy Valeriote to manage the party.
The party currently has two MLAs, Jeremy Valeriote and Rob Botterell, who both chose not to seek leadership to focus on legislative duties and constituencies.
Candidates seeking the leadership must obtain endorsements from a minimum of 100 party members within four weeks after submitting their application. The voting period is set for September 13 through 23, with the outcome announced on September 24.
Valeriote expressed confidence that having a non-MLA leader managing party growth outside the legislature will work well, leaving the leadership race wide open as several candidates step forward.
