Vancouver, BC – The New Democrats have named Mike Farnworth Opposition House Leader following a caucus meeting in Vancouver…

"Mike Farnworth brings a wealth of experience in parliamentary procedure and leadership," says party Leader, John Horgan.  "His leadership will help ensure our New Democrat team is united and effective at challenging the BC Liberal government for its failures to make life easier and more affordable for BC families."

Farnworth takes up the post from Surrey-Whalley MLA, Bruce Ralston, who has been the interim house leader since March.

Nelson-Creston MLA, Michelle Mungall, will serve as Deputy House Leader.

The next legislative session is scheduled for October.
