No clear winner in B.C. election race between NDP, Conservatives
Parties locked in near dead heat with vast majority of polls counted
A tight race for political power in British Columbia still had no clear winner early Sunday after the vast majority of votes in the provincial election had been counted, with a weakened incumbent party barely holding off its top challenger late into the night.

With a little more than 96 per cent of votes counted, the B.C. NDP and B.C. Conservatives were left locked in a near dead heat.

The NDP were either elected or leading in 46 ridings, while the Conservatives had won or were leading in 45 — each just a seat or two shy of the 47 needed to win a majority government.

The razor-thin result means the race will come down to the final polls, out-of-district votes and mail in ballots. The latter aren't expected to be fully counted until Oct. 26.

The BC Canadians are close to throwing off the Left's yoke. I hope they pull it off.
The progressives lost a lot of seats.

Don’t worry, the “mail in” votes will magically put the radical liberals over the top.

I'm not expecting any change from the ballots yet to be counted. A party that hadn't elected anyone in almost fifty years isn't gonna suddenly form government. Let's be realistic for a moment. I can guarantee that this legislature won't last the standard four years, and it's just a matter of time before Sonia Furstenau gives up her post as Green leader. She can't reasonably hold on when she failed to win in the district she ran in.
