The Liberals have won a majority government for a third straight term, beating out the New Democrats.
The election, which had been an extremely close horse race between NDP Leader Carole James and Liberal Leader Gordon Campbell, decided who will lead the province through the 2010 Olympics and a worldwide economic downturn.
According to preliminary results from Elections BC, the Liberals won in 49 ridings, surpassing the 43 seats needed to form a majority in the 85-seat B.C. legislature.
The NDP remain the official provincial opposition after winning 36 seats. |
