CP BC NDP Leader David Eby Wins Vancouver-Point Grey, Loses Election
The result ends the NDP’s run in power after a snap election that the Canadian Press decision desk called little more than an hour after polls closed.
- On Saturday, British Columbia NDP leader David Eby announced his resignation after the B.C. Conservatives, led by Lorne Doerkson, won a majority government in the snap provincial election.
- Eby called the snap election last month, two years early, to address U.S. President Donald Trump's challenges and end what he termed a "stalled out" legislature.

- Accepting "full responsibly for that outcome," Eby conceded Saturday evening, stating the loss broke his heart and he plans to spend time with his family.
- The 50-year-old Eby became premier in 2022 after John Horgan stepped down, narrowly defeating John Rustad in 2024, but his latest electoral gamble failed to pay off.
