B.C. NDP MLAs were due to meet at the legislature in Victoria on Thursday to discuss who will serve as the party's interim leader, following the party's election defeat over the weekend.

Global News and Vancouver Is Awesome both reported on the meeting. Both outlets described the caucus, the party's group of elected members in the legislature, as "decimated" after the loss.

An interim leader typically holds the job until a party chooses a permanent one. For voters in Vancouver and across Metro Vancouver, the discussion bears on who will front the NDP in the legislature during that stretch.

The caucus meeting is scheduled for Thursday at the legislature in Victoria.
