B.C. Liberals fall short of majority following final vote count

The final count of the 2017 B.C. election has concluded, and the result leaves the uncertainty the same as it was on election night. With all absentee ballots counted in Courtenay-Comox, NDP candidate Ronna-Rae Leonard has won by 189 votes over B.C. Liberal candidate Jim Benninger. It means the final seat count is 43 for the Liberals, 41 for the NDP, and three for the Green Party. It also leaves the Liberals one seat short of 44 seats — and a majority in the legislature — leaving a variety of scenarios in play, including an NDP government.
