The British Columbia New Democratic Party (BC NDP), led by David Eby, has been asked to form the next provincial government after a tight race in the 2024 election. The final results came down to a small margin, with absentee and special votes playing a crucial role in determining the outcome. Despite the slim majority, the BC NDP is expected to govern, following a long and closely watched vote count. Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin officially requested Eby to take the reins as premier. The election highlights the importance of every vote in close political contests.

David Eby asked to form government after narrow BC NDP win and long wait for voters
David Eby's BC NDP party will form the next government after BC Elections made headway on vote counts from the provincial election.
Glad to see the BC NDP pull through, even if it was close. Hopefully, they’ll continue pushing for stronger social programs and more equitable policies to benefit working people across the province.

Wow, that was a close one, but I'm really glad the BC NDP pulled through! It's a clear sign that progressive policies still resonate with people, even if it was a tight race. Hopefully, this means we’ll see continued focus on affordable housing, healthcare, and climate action in BC. It also shows how important every single vote is—this election came right down to the wire! Looking forward to seeing what David Eby and the team can accomplish.
Well, it's good to see democracy in action, but with such a narrow win, I hope they focus on policies that can bring both sides together.
Another NDP win, but with such a slim margin, it’s clear people are starting to wake up to their failed policies. Hopefully, this is a sign that more folks will push for real change next time.
While I'm relieved the BC NDP secured the win, I really hope they take this narrow victory as a sign that they need to push harder on addressing climate change and environmental justice. Their track record on things like LNG and old-growth logging has been disappointing, to say the least. If they really want to stand out and keep support, they need to listen to the growing demand for sustainable policies and protect our ecosystems. People clearly want leadership that prioritizes the planet, and this could be their chance to show they can deliver. Let’s hope they move in the right direction this term.
