Lois Boone and Paul Ramsey are among 16 former NDP MLAs who've signed a letter in support of keeping Carole James as leader.
The letter, sent out to party members and provincial council delegates this month, urges them to "stay focused on offering a strong opposition and a positive alternative to the BC Liberal government."
The letter was issued as delegates to the provincial council meet in Victoria this weekend will consider motions supporting James' leadership, as well as motions calling for a full leadership convention.
