| Description | B.C. Premier Christy Clark is going to Victoria as the new MLA for Vancouver-Point Grey.
Ms. Clark’s by-election bid for a seat in the B.C. legislature paid off Wednesday night. Preliminary results from Elections B.C showed she won the race with 7,371 votes, or 48.9 per cent of the vote, compared with 6,776 votes, or 44.97 per cent, for her primary rival, NDP candidate David Eby.
In the 2009 election, Ms. Clark’s predecessor as premier, Gordon Campbell, won Vancouver-Point Grey with 50 per cent of the vote over his nearest NDP rival, who won 40 per cent support. |
