Andrew Weaver announced today that he plans to resign as BC Green Pary leader and not run in the next election in his Oak Bay-Gordon Head riding for health reasons.
Weaver says he will stay on as party leader until a replacement is found. ...
The announcement does not immediately change the balance of power in the province, where the three-member Green Party caucus currently supports the minority NDP government through a confidence and supply agreement. ...
The NDP holds 41 seats, the Greens three and the Liberals 42 seats. Speaker of the House Darryl Plecas is an independent.
Weaver said he's been thinking about his future in politics for some time and that a recent health issue had nothing to do with his decision.
On Sept. 16, Weaver tweeted that he had suddenly taken ill with labyrinthitis, an inner-ear disorder that can induce dizziness, nausea and loss of hearing.
