The New Democratic Party of British Columbia (BC NDP) is a provincial political party in British Columbia, Canada. The party espouses social democracy and sits on the centre-left of the political spectrum. The NDP is one of the two major parties in British Columbia (BC); since the 1990s, its rival is the centre-right BC United (formerly known as the BC Liberals). The BC NDP is formally affiliated with the federal New Democratic Party and serves as its provincial branch. The party was established in 1933 as the provincial wing of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation; the party adopted its current name in 1961 as part of the national party's re-foundation. The CCF quickly established itself as a major party in BC: for all but five years between 1933 and 1972, the CCF/NDP was the Official Opposition to the Liberal, Conservative and Social Credit governments. The NDP won its first election in 1972 under leader Dave Barrett, who governed until 1975. The party returned to office in 1991 and governed until 2001 under a succession of leaders. The party lost the 2001 election in a landslide and remained in opposition until the 2017 election, when it formed a minority government in 2017 under John Horgan. In 2020 provincial election, the party was re-elected with a majority government. In 2022, Horgan stepped down as party leader and premier and was succeeded by David Eby. More information...
