B.C. NDP Secures Majority After Surrey-Guildford Recount

A judicial recount confirms the NDP's narrow victory, maintaining their one-seat majority in the B.C. legislature.

The B.C. NDP won the Surrey-Guildford riding by just 22 votes, securing their 47th seat needed for a majority government.
Elections B.C. conducted the recount under the supervision of a Supreme Court judge, finalizing the results nearly three weeks post-election.
The recount process revealed unreported ballots due to human error, prompting calls for a review of the election process.
Premier David Eby plans to swear in his new cabinet on November 18, with an all-party review of the voting process proposed.
Despite the recount, the overall election results remain unchanged, with the Conservatives holding 44 seats and the Greens two.
