VANCOUVER, B.C. — Why did David Eby appoint Aman Singh as the candidate for Richmond-Queensborough after his well-documented history of antisemitism?

Within days of the October 7^th terrorist attack that claimed the lives of thousands of Jews, Aman Singh called for the Government of British Columbia to make a public statement about the plight of the Palestinians: 

“And then within days of the massacre, Aman [Richmond-Queensborough NDP MLA Aman Singh] and Katrina [Burnaby-Lougheed NDP MLA Katrina Chen] decided that it was appropriate to “reply all” to my initial email asking folks to stand with the Jewish community in grief and mourning and ask that government make a public statement about the plight of the Palestinians.” – Selina Robinson, Former NDP MLA

Antisemitism has been a long-standing and well-documented problem in the NDP across the country. 

When Selina Robinson left the NDP caucus in 2024 as a result of antisemitism she experienced, Premier Eby called it “humbling.”
