Former MPs launch volunteer effort to renew NDP ahead of leadership race

  • Former MPs launch volunteer effort to renew NDP ahead of leadership race

Two former New Democrat MPs who lost their seats in the April election are launching a project to renew the party ahead of its March convention.

Peter Julian and Matthew Green say their volunteer group is hoping to engage with party members across the country after the party's crushing election loss.

The NDP lost official party status when it elected only seven members in April, and Jagmeet Singh stepped down as leader when he lost his own seat.

The party is set to choose its next leader at the convention in Winnipeg.

Julian and Green say the NDP can't afford to wait six months to begin an engagement process with its members, and they want to help chart the party's future.

Julian says that since the election, he's heard from New Democrats who are feeling "voter's remorse" after supporting the Liberals.
