BC NDP Secures Narrow Victory in Provincial Election After Lengthy Vote Count

The British Columbia New Democratic Party (BC NDP), led by David Eby, has been asked to form the next provincial government after a tight race in the 2024 election. The final results came down to a small margin, with absentee and special votes playing a crucial role in determining the outcome. Despite the slim majority, the BC NDP is expected to govern, following a long and closely watched vote count. Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin officially requested Eby to take the reins as premier. The election highlights the importance of every vote in close political contests.
