NDP win a majority in British Columbia
John Horgan’s NDP has won a majority in British Columbia. Horgan is now free to run the province without the support of the Green Party. The victory may factor into BC’s position on the Trans Mountain Pipeline to the Pacific. The Green splinter members regularly threatened to bring down the government. With more than 80 percent of the polls reporting results, the NDP had won enough seats to form a majority government. The final count won’t be available for three weeks due to the record number of ballots cast by mail, which have not been counted. The New Democrats won 53 seats, the Liberals 27 seats and the Greens three. Four ridings were too close to call.
