B.C. Election Final Count Complete: Conservatives Win 64 Seats, Two Ridings Decided by Fewer Than 60 Votes
VICTORIA, British Columbia - Elections BC completed the final count in all 93 ridings of the provincial election on November 8: the Conservative Party of British Columbia won 64 seats and a majority government, the NDP won 27 seats and the Green Party won 2. A majority requires 47 seats.
The final count changed at least one result. Burnaby South-Metrotown flipped to Conservative candidate David Xie, who won by 64 votes. Burnaby is home to one of Canada's largest Chinese communities, and the riding's outcome drew close attention from Canadian Chinese voters there.
The two closest races were Kelowna Centre, where Conservative Kristina Loewen won by 43 votes, and Ladysmith-Oceanside, where NDP candidate Stephanie Higginson won by 50 votes. Both margins are smaller than one five-hundredth of the ballots cast, the threshold for a judicial recount.
Election day in British Columbia was October 24, 2026. Elections BC said the official declaration of results is due by November 10.
