Sooke School District board chair Ravi Parmar is expected to be acclaimed as the BC NDP candidate for the provincial Langford-Juan de Fuca riding next month.
No date has been set for a byelection to replace John Horgan in the riding, after he retired as premier in November and as MLA at the end of March.
Parmar is set to be officially acclaimed as the NDP candidate at a nomination meeting on May 13.
