Port Coquitlam NDP MLA Mike Farnworth is expected to be acclaimed on Saturday as a candidate in the provincial election.
Farnworth — the NDP spokesperson for justice and Opposition Caucus House Leader — is set to be voted in by riding party members at 2 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion (2675 Shaughnessy St.). The meeting is open to the public.
First elected in 1991 as the MLA for Port Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, the veteran politician was retained in the 1996, 2005 and 2009 contests.
Meanwhile, BC Liberal and BC Green party challengers have yet to be named for PoCo.
The provincial election is May 9.
