The BC NDP appears to have won enough seats to form government in British Columbia on Monday. However, it is unclear whether it will be a majority or a minority government.
The Canadian Press is projecting that they have won at least 46 seats, with two seats still too close to call in the ongoing count of absentee ballots.
The threshold for a majority is 47 seats.
The closest riding is Surrey-Guildford, where the BC Conservatives were leading until around 12 p.m., when the BC NDP took the lead. As of 4 p.m., the NDP is ahead by 18 votes.
The BC Conservatives have a slim lead in Kelowna Centre.
