B.C. New Democratic Party leader Carole James' leadership remains in jeopardy despite surviving a weekend vote to hold a leadership convention, says ousted MLA Bob Simpson.
James is still subject to a "leadership review" through secret ballot vote by the party membership when the annual convention is held, Simpson said Tuesday, and contended she has a lot of work to do given her low standing in the polls.
"She's been given a year, effectively, to prove herself to the broader membership of the NDP and to get a mandate from them as opposed to immediately step aside and have a leadership convention," Simpson said.
Saturday's vote was limited to the provincial council which is the party's governing body between conventions.
