BC election special: Race sits on a knife edge with several seats too close to call | FULL
British Columbia’s provincial election turned out to be just as close as pollsters predicted, with the outcome sitting on a knife edge late Saturday night as the final results trickled in.
As of 10:45 p.m. PT, the BC NDP were leading or elected in 46 seats, the BC Conservatives were leading or elected in 45 seats, and the Greens were leading or elected in two seats.
The NDP had 44.55 per cent of the popular vote, compared to 43.53 for the BC Conservatives and 8.28 for the BC Green Party.
That split, if it holds, would make for an NDP minority government. But with a few poll stations still to report, several races had leads of under 500 votes, and two races, Juan de Fuca-Malahat and Surrey Centre, had the NDP leading by under 50 votes.
If the Conservatives can flip those ridings, it would put them at the 47 seats needed to form a majority government.
Global News had extensive coverage of B.C.’s election night with a province-wide ‘Decision B.C.’ special, featuring up-to-the-minute results and analysis.
Global’s anchors, reporters and two panels of experts broke down the results as they came in, taking a close look at what they mean for British Columbians. Watch the full election special here.

Thanks Global.
I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who broughtOh people, we are your sisters, by God 😭😭😭 We do not even find a loaf of bread inside the house that would satisfy you, oh nation of Muhammad. People are brothers. Oh God, make your righteous servants subservient to us. Oh God, make your righteous servants subservient to us. My appeal to every Muslim, oh Lord, if he sees this message, may He prolong his life, make him happy, and cover him. May God reward him. God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs. There is no power or strength except with God. Oh people, oh nation of Muhammad, oh people of goodness, oh people of mercy. We are your sisters and your children. By God, we do not even find a loaf of bread inside the house that would satisfy you. Oh nation of Muhammad, I only spoke out of extreme hunger and distress. My mother, sisters, and I are displaced from our homes because of the war. We are in a state that no one knows about except God. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs, against those who brought us to this state 💔💔 By God Almighty, I only wrote this appeal out of extreme poverty and poverty, oh people. I beg you by God Almighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, that I do not have food at home. By God, my brothers and sisters have been sitting around for two days. Without food, by God our situation is very difficult, we are 6 people in the house and my father passed away and there is no one to support us and we live in a rented house and we cannot pay the rest of the rent. I am not lying to you nor deceiving you nor cheating you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced because of the war between me and my family over a rent dispute and the owner of the house. By God, my brother comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants us to go out to the street because we are unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and talked to the neighbors again and gave us a deadline until the end of the week and we swore to God to let us out of the street now we are in arrears of 60 thousand Yemeni riyals for 3 months rent may God have mercy on us our country is suffering because of this war and we do not find our daily sustenance and we live my mother and sisters our father passed away may God have mercy on him and we do not have anyone in the world to come to us in these harsh circumstances my little sisters went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating and stood at their door giving them even a piece of bread and by God in whose hand is the heavens and the earth they closed the door and kicked them out and they came back crying dying of hunger no one has mercy on them and now the holiday has come back to me if no one of us helps us with a kilo of flour by God we will die of hunger brother I seek refuge in God and then in you and I want your help for the sake of God I ask you by God you love goodness and help me even if it is about the rent of the house send me a WhatsApp message on this number+967،735867642 and ask for my card name and send it and do not delay may God compensate you with all good My little sisters, look at their situation and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street and humiliate us or my family and I die of hunger. We ask you by God, if you are able to help us, do not delay on us, and may God reward you with good.'~~_«%•&»v….,zy&😢😢;…..,,,l..,,,lll.,,,,,………,,,,,,,,,,,, …,.,,…….!~~~♡♡♡~~~♡~♡~•~•~•~.,,.c,,,,•~♡……,,, ….., …j

thank god christy clark didnt win… i mean rustad.
Shows there is a huge need for a real centrist party.
NDP Gross
Please end Socialism!
richmond woman in the start is exactly my face when up for another election of what puppet will win
COVID made health care many times worse! It destroyed our economy because the taxpayers had to pay for the vaccines. Green and NDP want solar panels, windmills, and electric cars, which are much worse for the planet than gas. Do your homework, people!
FSOCIALISM, FNDPCOMMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where is the liberal w? Im not getting it
Vancouver and Victoria determining who leads the entire province again. Ridiculous.
This is why an Electoral College is such an amazing concept.
What do city folk know or care about rural issues? They couldn't possibly care less.
why would anyone vote ndp?
How could ppl of B.C not vote for a premier who wanted to used natural resources to benefit the province and cut some of the crap that goes around in the name of the environment
NDP❤
