Vicki Huntingdon defeated Wally Oppal in Delta South by 32 votes, 9977 to 9945. Vicki Huntingdon is the first person elected to the BC Legislature since 1996 that is not a Liberal or New Democrat.
In Cariboo Chilcotin Liberal Donna Barnett defeated New Democrat Charlie Wyse 6259 to 6171.
This means the legislature will be:
- Liberals 49 (+3)
- NDP 35 (+2)
- Ind 1 (+1)
The changes from the final count also changes the number of women in the legistlature, I took a look at this right after the election and I honestly did not think there would be changes. We move from 22 women to 24 women. This works out to 28.2% of the MLAs.
The two new MLAs also displace two incumbents. The election will see 25 new MLAs going to Victoria, not 23 as I had orginally thought. The Liberals have 31 returning MLAs and 28 New Democrats.
The percentage of vote for the parties in the final count has so far shown a small shift away from the Liberals to the NDP and Greens. Interesting is how well the Greens have done in the final count.
