David Eby To Be Sworn In November 18

David Eby will be sworn in as British Columbia's 37th premier by Lt. Gov. Janet Austin on Friday, Nov. 18, 2022.

The news comes just one day after Eby met with the B.C.'s lieutenant-governor and asked the premier-designate to begin the process of forming government as John Horgan prepares to leave the role.

Horgan is stepping away from politics after undergoing treatment for throat cancer and has stated that he has "great confidence" in Eby's future.

The ceremony will take place at Government House and the November break of the fall legislative session will be extended leading up to the swearing-in ceremony. Eby will meet the legislative assembly as premier during the week of Nov. 21.
