- Four months into his leadership, Avi Lewis says his immediate focus is preparing the NDP for an election rather than pursuing a seat in the House of Commons.
- He plans to run in the next election or its lead-up once the party considers itself ready nationwide, after losing in Vancouver-area ridings in both 2021 and 2025.
- The NDP was reduced to seven seats after the 2025 election; Lori Idlout’s move to the Liberals and Alexandre Boulerice’s departure from federal politics left a five-member caucus without standing on parliamentary committees.
- Byelections are scheduled for Aug. 31 in Beaches-East York, North Vancouver-Capilano and Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, where the NDP has no candidates yet but volunteers are canvassing, and Lewis says he may have to appoint candidates.
Liberals can't hold people's vote hostage and say, 'If you don't vote us, then you get the Conservatives,' when the NDP shows that we can take votes from the Conservatives as well.— Avi Lewis, in an interview about the NDP’s electoral strategy and the potential to draw votes from both Liberals and Conservatives.
