'No sugar-coating it': NDP ex-ministers admit frustration at snap election blunder
Both Ravi Parmar and Niki Sharma leave door open to NDP leadership run
Two prominent figures in British Columbia's outgoing NDP government have spoken out about the scale of the mistake made in calling last weekend's election that resulted in the party's crushing defeat.
Niki Sharma and Ravi Parmar are both leaving open the possibility they may seek party leadership in the wake of the resignation of outgoing Premier David Eby, as the decimated NDP caucus meets at the legislature.
Sharma, who was previously attorney general, says Eby apologized for calling the snap election at a meeting of the outgoing caucus on Wednesday, and he "took full responsibility."

Parmar, the outgoing forests minister, says the party and Eby clearly made the wrong decision to call the election that resulted in a two-thirds majority of 63 seats for the B.C. Conservatives, while the NDP ranks have been reduced from 47 to 28, according to the preliminary count.

ranks → say → count
Parmar says the party "got it wrong" and owes British Columbians an apology for calling the election, while adding that it's too early to say if he'll seek leadership.
"The premier made a decision, we all stood by him … clearly we made the wrong decision calling the election, and that's something that we're all going to live by," he said before the start of the caucus meeting.

Asked to rate the level of frustration at the election call, Parmar said it was "about 10, absolutely."

"I'm disappointed, I'm frustrated, but that disappointment and frustration can't last four years, it can only last a few days," he said.
