B.C. Conservatives gain a seat in final election count
The final count added about 150,000 ballots and set up judicial recounts in two close ridings.
- On Sunday, Conservative David Xie won Burnaby South-Metrotown, overcoming NDP Paul Choi's 66-vote lead to secure the seat by 64 votes after the final count concluded.
- Judicial recounts loom in two ridings following the final count process, which included about 150,000 mail-in, phone, and absentee ballots across the 93 ridings in the province.
- In Kelowna-Centre, Conservative Kristina Loewen finished 43 votes ahead of New Democrat Loyal Wooldridge, while NDP Stephanie Higginson prevailed by 50 votes over Conservative Kris McNichol in Ladysmith-Oceanside.
- The Conservatives hold 64 seats, the NDP 27, and the Greens two, with Conservatives taking 47.4 per cent of the popular vote compared to the NDP's 37.6 per cent.
- Though Independent Vicki Huntington successfully overturned a two-vote deficit to win in Delta South by 32 votes in 2009, judicial recounts rarely change results in the province.
