A statement from Eby's office says a transition team is now making recommendations to the premier about forming ministries and choosing the cabinet ministers to lead them.
"British Columbians want to see urgent action taken on their priorities, including affordability and housing, strengthening health care and building strong communities within a vibrant economy," Eby said in the statement.
"The first step is swearing in a new cabinet for British Columbia."
The transition team is being led by Doug White, the premier's special counsel on Indigenous reconciliation, and Shannon Salter, Eby's deputy minister and head of the public service.
