Eby says Doerkson a Conservative 'Trojan horse' as B.C. campaign wraps
Eby says Doerkson may not stay leader as Elections BC prepares to hand-count ballots on election day.
- On Friday, NDP Leader David Eby described interim Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson as a "Trojan horse," citing extreme elements within his party as the final day of campaigning concludes before Saturday's provincial election.
- Eby expressed regret over the snap election, acknowledging British Columbians were "surprised and frustrated" by his decision to go to the polls two years early to address a "stalled" legislature where the NDP held a one-seat majority.
- While Doerkson rallied Thursday in Surrey with former premier Christie Clark and Surrey mayor-elect Doug McCallum, he has remained unavailable to reporters for the third consecutive day.
- Elections BC confirmed that votes cast Saturday will be tallied manually, departing from 2024's electronic tabulation due to "short time frames and complex operational logistics of a snap election."
- Eby suggested that Doerkson may not remain the Conservative leader after the election, cautioning that voters may not fully understand what they are getting with his current leadership.
