There is still no clear winner in the 2024 B.C. election after counting resumed on Saturday, according to Elections B.C.

A tallying of mail-in and advance voting ballots has widened the B.C. NDP’s lead in two ridings, but the outcome for both districts won’t be known until a full manual recount is completed on Sunday and Monday.

The NDP’s lead over the B.C. Conservatives in the Juan de Fuca-Malahat riding has grown to 106 votes from the previous 20 votes, according to updated results posted by Elections B.C. at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

The NDP’s lead in the Surrey City Centre riding has grown to 162 votes from the previous 95.

More to come.
