Finance critic Mike Farnworth first to enter B.C. New Democrat leadership race
PORT COQUITLAM, B.C. – The B.C. NDP’s finance critic is the first to throw his hat in the ring for leadership of the party.
Mike Farnworth, who represents the riding of Port Coquitlam, says that with him in charge, New Democrats would take an aggressive stance against the B.C. Liberals.
The provincial NDP’s current leader, Adrian Dix, has faced criticism from analysts who say his approach in last year’s election campaign was too soft.
The New Democrats went into the campaign with a 20-point lead in the polls, but lost in a massive upset against the incumbent Liberal government.
Party members will chose Dix’s successor on Sept. 28.
