Vancouver MP-elect Don Davies will be taking over as the interim leader of the NDP following former leader Jagmeet Singh’s defeat and resignation. However, resurfaced meetings and comments from Davies are stirring controversy for the struggling party.
After the NDP lost 17 seats and official party status, it appointed the pro-China and anti-Israel MP-elect for Vancouver Kingsway to helm the party into the next session of the House of Commons while it searches for a new leader.
Davies was previously the NDP’s finance critic and sat on the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, and had held the riding since 2008 and kept it by only 310 votes last election.
