The Conservative leader says he’s still optimistic that his party may form government as there are still votes left to be counted. However party Leader Sonia Furstenau was defeated after switching ridings to Victoria — Beacon Hill. Both NDP Leader David Eby and Conservative Leader John Rustad retained their seats, Eby in Vancouver-Point Grey and Rustad in Nechako Lakes. He was acclaimed as NDP leader in October 2022, replacing John Horgan. Four smaller flags flank each side of the stage, and large screens that had displayed the Conservative Party of British Columbia logo started playing election coverage.
