B.C. NDP delegates mull resolutions and mandatory review for Premier David Eby

Premier David Eby faces a mandatory leadership review as New Democrats meet in Victoria, British Columbia, with the vote scheduled immediately after his Saturday speech alongside Don Davies, federal interim NDP Leader.
Nearly 400 resolutions will frame the NDP convention, which occurs every two years unless there is an election, and Premier David Eby says some could become law.
Delegates will decide by silent ballot whether Premier David Eby secures more than 50 per cent support from roughly 800 delegates to avoid triggering a leadership race, with only one organized slate currently.

Amid strikes and policy disputes, party sentiments show frustrations from public service unions and First Nations and environmental groups, while Stewart Prest warns slipping support could prompt renewed leadership rumblings similar to those faced by John Rustad, B.C. Conservative Leader.
