Coletto said a victory here would be the first bit of good news the NDP has had in a long time. Singh’s defeat in Burnaby South could precipitate a political crisis in the federal NDP. He has spent virtually all of 2019 campaigning in Burnaby South, and many in the party are thirsting for momentum ahead of the general election campaign.
