B.C. Conservatives Win Majority as David Eby Resigns as NDP Leader
The win ends nine years of New Democrat rule and sends David Eby into opposition after a snap election backfired, the decision desk said.
- On Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, the B.C. Conservative Party secured a majority government, making Lorne Doerkson premier-designate. NDP leader David Eby conceded defeat and announced his resignation as party leader.
- Eby's decision to call a snap election two years early backfired, as the outgoing premier cited legislative frustrations and U.S. trade challenges as justification. This gamble ultimately ended his nearly four-year premiership and NDP rule.
- Preliminary counts show the Conservatives won or led in 64 of 93 ridings, with Doerkson pledging to "supercharge" the economy. He aims to triple liquefied natural gas production by 2035 while maintaining his promise of no new taxes.
- Ending nearly a decade of NDP governance, the province now shifts to a Conservative majority. Eby acknowledged the result as a "significant defeat," accepting full responsibility as his caucus prepares to serve as the official Opposition.
- As B.C.'s 38th premier, Doerkson plans to cut regulations and boost investment to stimulate growth. His administration's priorities will focus on economic pledges while navigating the historic political shift following this landslide Conservative victory.
