Green Leader Andrew Weaver, whose party recorded a historic election breakthrough two years ago, is stepping aside and will not seek re-election in the next provincial election. “This is also one of the main, if not the main reason, why I believe it is time for the B.C. He became leader of the party in 2015 after he was elected as the first Green in the provincial legislature. In 2017, Weaver and the Greens made history again when the party won three seats in the house and were courted by the B.C. The Greens eventually decided to support the NDP in an agreement that toppled the Liberals from power after 16 years.
