Story summary

In the 2026 British Columbia provincial election, Lorne Doerkson's Conservative Party won a majority government with 64 seats, marking their first victory in nearly a century. The NDP, led by outgoing Premier David Eby, secured only 27 seats, losing power after nine years in office. Eby called the snap election two years early but underestimated voter backlash, leading to his party's defeat. Doerkson promised to boost liquefied natural gas production and reduce regulatory hurdles for business, positioning BC for economic growth.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
