Jobs Minister Ravi Kahlon says he won't be running for the leadership of the BC New Democrats, but he says he would support David Eby, if the attorney general decided to seek the party's top job.

Eby has not announced his leadership intentions, but in a social media message posted this morning, Kahlon says he admires Eby's integrity and passion.

Kahlon says he and his family have decided now is not the time for him to seek the leadership, but he believes Eby is the right person to be BC's next premier.

No one has yet declared plans to replace Premier John Horgan, who announced last month that he will step down and wants a leadership convention held this fall.

The firm led a similar mission in 2018 but ended its work without discoveries. This year’s search was paused in April because of rough weather in the Indian Ocean, where investigators believe the Boeing 777 went down. The ministry says Ocea
