B.C. NDP hangs on to power, will form next government, CBC News projects

B.C. NDP hangs on to power, will form next government, CBC News projects

CBC
Monday, October 28, 2024 11:00 PM GMT

David Eby's British Columbia NDP appears to have fended off the John Rustad Conservative surge by a razor-thin margin to form the next provincial government, CBC News projects.

Whether the party forms a minority or majority government is still uncertain.

Currently, the NDP has been elected in 46 ridings and is leading in one, with the Conservatives elected in 43 and leading in one. The B.C. Greens have been elected in two ridings.

With 93 seats in the B.C. Legislature, a majority requires 47 seats.

The victory is a result of Monday's absentee and special ballot counts in the most competitive ridings and is taking place 10 days after the Oct. 19 final voting day, where a clear winner did not emerge.

Key to securing the win was NDP candidate Dana Lajeunesse in the riding of Juan de Fuca-Malahat, projected elected by CBC News with a lead of 125 votes over Conservative Marina Sapozhnikov.

A nail-biter in the riding of Surrey-Guildford that is still too close to call currently has NDP incumbent Garry Begg leading Conservative Honveer Singh Randhawa by 17 votes. 

Should the NDP win that riding, it would give them enough seats for a majority government. 

The only other riding CBC News has yet to call is Courtnay-Comox, where Conservative Brennan Day leads NDP incumbent Ronna-Rae Leonard by 91 votes.

Currently, there are five ridings where the margin between the elected candidate and runner-up is less than 200 votes.

According to Elections B.C., if the difference between the top two candidates is less than 1/500th of the total ballots considered, a judicial recount must take place.

Judicial recounts are conducted by a justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and can also be requested by a candidate by the Nov. 4 deadline on the following basis:
