Premier David Eby must balance geographic and gender considerations following election.

Nearly half of the 27 cabinet members Eby had before the election are not returning to government.

The premier must also find MLAs to replace cabinet ministers who either retired before election or were defeated.

Glen Clark , NDP premier from 1996 to 1999, said he’s concerned that Eby will struggle to give rural B.C. a voice.

Former chief of staff Geoff Meggs says Horgan ’s process in 2017 and again in 2020 was to tape photos of each caucus member to a wall in a private room and shift them around to different portfolios until he came up with a combination that addressed the different considerations he had around organizational structures, gender balance, diversity and regional representation.

The bigger task will be shaping the cabinet to reflect key campaign promises.
