Greens hold balance of power with three elected MLAs in stunning B.C. election
VICTORIA — British Columbia’s upstart Green party achieved the historic political breakthrough they were looking for on Tuesday, winning three seats and holding the balance of power as no party won enough seats to form a majority government.
The see-saw election battle ended with 43 Liberals, 41 New Democrats and three Greens, although recounts could still change the outcome.
“We offered people a change that they could count on and British Columbians delivered that change tonight,” said Weaver.
Weaver spoke briefly with Liberal Leader Christy Clark and NDP Leader John Horgan, but he said it was too early to make any decisions about forming coalitions or informal working agreements with the other parties.
