B.C. NDP hangs on to power, will form next government, CBC News projects

David Eby's British Columbia NDP appears to have fended off the John Rustad Conservative surge by a razor-thin margin to form the next provincial government, CBC News projects.
...
Currently, the NDP has been elected in 46 ridings and is leading in one, with the Conservatives elected in 43 and leading in one. The B.C. Greens have been elected in two ridings.
...
Key to securing the win was NDP candidate Dana Lajeunesse in the riding of Juan de Fuca-Malahat, projected elected by CBC News with a lead of 125 votes over Conservative Marina Sapozhnikov.

A nail-biter in the riding of Surrey-Guildford that is still too close to call currently has NDP incumbent Garry Begg leading Conservative Honveer Singh Randhawa by 17 votes.

My cousin's son-in-law works for the BC NDP in government, and would have lost his job if they lost. And they've just had a baby. Yay.
