DescriptionVICTORIA — Opposition leader Carole James survived a major leadership test today before the New Democratic Party's provincial council, taking 84 per cent of delegates support, as they voted not to schedule a leadership convention and challenge her stewardship.

Earlier today, James called on members of her party's council to unite behind her during the crucial vote.

“Now is the time for us to unite in our resolve and to move forward on behalf of those people we serve,” James told the delegates at a meeting of the provincial council in Victoria.

“We can make a difference, but it will only happen if we are government, not opposition,” she added.

“We will only have ourselves to blame if we let this opportunity slip away.”
