Story summary

The Conservative Party won the British Columbia provincial election on October 24, 2026, marking their first victory in nearly a century. The party leader, Lorne Doerkson, will become the new Premier of British Columbia, replacing outgoing NDP Premier David Eby. Despite Eby's surprise call for an early election two years into his mandate, the Conservatives secured a majority government with 47 seats out of 93 in the Legislative Assembly. This outcome ended nine years of NDP rule and reflects significant shifts in voter sentiment towards energy policies and regulatory reform.
