BC NDP Leader David Eby to Address Press for the First Time Since Election Night
BC NDP Leader David Eby is scheduled to hold a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, marking his first public comments since election night.
The New Democrats currently hold 46 seats, just one short of the 47 required for a majority.
The BC Conservatives have 45 seats, while the BC Greens have two; however, absentee and mail-in ballots are still being counted.
Ballots are also being recounted in the Juan de Fuca-Malahat and Surrey City Centre ridings, as the results in these areas showed fewer than 100 votes separating the top two candidates.
If the current results stand, the NDP may have the chance to lead a minority government with support from the Greens.
On Monday, BC Conservative Leader John Rustad spoke with Global News and expressed confidence that his party could find common ground with the BC Greens.
“There are certain issues that are important for the Green Party that we can have a conversation about without compromising any, if all, of the principles we have as the Conservative Party,” Rustad stated.
