Stewart said he’d fully support NDP leader Jagmeet Singh running to replace him in Burnaby South instead. Stewart said he’s already spoken with NDP leader Jagmeet Singh about a possible mayoral run, and he has the leader’s support. Stewart said he’d “fully support” Singh running to replace him in Burnaby South instead. Stewart said he hasn’t decided whether he would run for a party or as an independent candidate if he enters the race.
