At least one name has expressed interest in taking over the reigns of the province's New Democratic Party.

     Dwain Lingenfelter made the announcement earlier today that he will be seeking the party's leadership at the next convention in June.

     The NDP have begun the search for a new leader after Lorne Calvert announced that he will not be seeking another term.

     Lingenfelter previously served as Deputy Premier under the former NDP government.
