VICTORIA — British Columbia Health Minister Ravi Kahlon says he will not seek re-election in the snap Oct. 24 provincial vote that has been called by David Eby.
He becomes the third minister in Eby’s cabinet to say they will not be running.
Kahlon says the time is right for him to step aside in Delta North after three election cycles.
Minister of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness Kelly Greene earlier cited her ongoing opposition to the NDP-backed Tilbury LNG project’s expansion for her decision not to stand.
Tourism Minister Lana Popham said Monday that said she would not be running for a sixth term after 17 years in elected office.
Eby called the election less that two years into his mandate, framing it as necessary to respond to the threat posed by U.S. President Donald Trump and his trade war.
