This weekend, 81 per cent of NDP delegates voted against forcing a leadership contest. This gave Jagmeet Singh the lowest level of support for an NDP leader since the 2016 convention, when more than half the delegates voted to remove Thomas Mulcair.
“To me it was a bit of a surprise,” said Karl Bélanger, president of Traxxion Strategies. “I was expecting to be more around the 90 per cent mark.”
At this convention in Hamilton, there was a video message from Manitoba NDP leader Wab Kinew, fresh off his win over Progressive Conservative Heather Stephenson.As the party hoped to send a message that NDP leaders can challenge, and defeats Conservatives, even though Singh has so far been unable to replicate the party’s provincial success at a federal level.
While it’s the first federal agreement of its kind between the two parties, it’s not the first time the NDP has worked alongside a Liberal prime minister. On Saturday, delegates supported an emergency resolution designed to increase pressure on the Liberals around a national prescription drug program.
