As speculation mounts that Premier David Eby could call an early provincial election this fall, the Union of B.C. Municipalities is raising concerns that a provincial election could overshadow scheduled local government elections.
Lorne Doerkson was energetic and nearly breathless as he took the stage Saturday night, after his B.C. Conservatives swept to a majority government in Saturday’s provincial general election, according to preliminary results. Â
Provincially, it has been declared a Conservative majority, with the party securing 62 seats in the Legislature. The NDP have formed the provincial opposition with 29 seats so far, and the Greens have secured two seats so far.
