Lorne Doerkson is no John Horgan, but it's interesting that both of them are/were politicians with very little ambition, other than fighting for their party's principles...Eby was always ambitious....as was Christy Clark #bcpoli

Voter turnout in BC dropped substantially in this election - down from 58.45% in 2024 to 48.06% (previous low was 53.86% in the 2020 pandemic election). Advance voting was also down 11% Lots of likely causes but approx 300,000 voters stayed away compared with last time.

Congratulation to @LDoerkson, British Columbia’s next premier, and the BC Conservative Party on their historic election victory. I’m looking forward to working together as we unlock our natural resources, continue to break down internal trade barriers and build a more competitive and united Canada from coast to coast to coast. I also want to thank David Eby for his years of dedicated public service and wish him and his family all the best. Premier Eby has been an important part of Team Canada as we stood up to tariffs and worked together to protect Canadian sovereignty.
