Holy shit. The NDP voted out their establishment/continuity slate of officers. The delegates voted for the new progressive slate of candidates, signalling the evolution of the party back towards its socialist roots.

"There is an establishment slate and a progressive left slate which has Niall (president), Libby Davies (VP) and Keira Gunn (Treasurer)"

Massive upset in the officer leadership at #ndp2026 -- the "continuity" slate was defeated by a last-minute slate that included Libby Davies. Only people in the room are allowed to vote on this and so it not only seals the Lewis victory, but it also shows that support goes deep.

@mayintoronto it says further AB and Sask are ready to walk out if Lewis wins. Good. Let them create their own parties then

They want to serve corporate oil interests and prop up a carbon economy thats killing us all.

We want a clean energy future, wealth redistribution and capitalism dismantled.

We are not the same.#NewNDP

@TheresaReason It'd be interesting to see how many delegates that will be. I don't think it'll be the whole provinces.

@mayintoronto it most likely is just talk, it would be foolish at this stage to cut the Federal Party loose. I think Avi has huge potential to get people excited about an alternative to the same old bs.

If you want a BC only party, I guess that would be fine.

The NDP are a non-factor east of Ontario as it is.
