The leaders of the Liberal and Green parties in British Columbia are not happy that NDP Premier John Horgan has called a snap election for next month.

Andrew Wilkinson criticized Horgan for calling an election that could potentially harm the health of B-C residents during a pandemic.

He says the NDP are just trying to secure their own employment.

The newly-elected leader of the BC Green Party says Premier John Horgan's decision to call a snap election in the middle of a pandemic is politics at its worst.

Sonia Furstenau says the Green Party has worked in good faith with NDP for three years and she met with Horgan on Friday to make it clear that would continue.

But she says he has decided to put his own political fortunes ahead of British Columbians who are continuing to make sacrifices due to COVID-19.

She adds that means cabinet ministers will be on the campaign trail for the next month instead of working with Dr. Bonnie Henry to manage the pandemic.
