John Horgan met with Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin today, and later announced a provincial election.
Election will be held on Oct. 24th.
Horgan called an 11 a.m. news conference following the meeting with the lieutenant-governor.
Horgan says, "British Columbians deserve a say in our economic recovery and will decide the future of our province.''
B.C. had a fixed election date set for October 2021, but Horgan had earlier said he was considering his political options.
The NDP formed a minority government in B.C. three years ago after signing a deal with the Green party.
But in recent weeks, Horgan has said the Green party is a different entity from the one he signed the agreement with after the departure of Andrew Weaver as leader.
