Overview

• Lowan captured the leadership on the first ballot with 3,189 votes to Jonathan Kerr’s 1,908 and Adam Bremner‑Akins’ 128.
• She says she will seek to renegotiate the Greens’ cooperation agreement with the NDP to pursue a more assertive agenda.
• Early policy pushes include a wealth tax, an 18% windfall profits levy and sustainable funding for municipalities.
• Her platform also proposes a moratorium on new fossil‑fuel extraction, vacancy control to curb rent hikes between tenants and steps toward fare‑free transit.
• The campaign drew thousands of largely young members after a verification process that validated more than 65% of roughly 3,200 new signups, and she will lead from outside the legislature for now.
