VICTORIA – The NDP appears to have won enough seats to form government in British Columbia, however it is unclear whether it will be a majority or minority.

The Canadian Press is projecting that Premier David Eby’s NDP has 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, and the NDP is narrowly leading the B.C. Conservatives in one of the undecided races.

More coming.
