A former federal NDP candidate in the riding of Vancouver-Granville is challenging Attorney General David Eby for leadership of the B.C. New Democrats
Anjali Appadurai says she’s running as a way to challenge what she calls the status quo of the party, with a focus on addressing the climate crisis, health care and deaths from toxic drugs, housing affordability and the rising cost of living.
The deadline for candidates to enter the race is set for October 4, with voting for a new leader starting on November 13 and a decision expected in December.
Appadurai is the director of campaigns for an organization called the Climate Emergency Unit and narrowly lost her bid for the federal seat in Vancouver last fall to the Liberal candidate in one of the closest races in the country.
