VANCOUVER — B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad says the political landscape in the province has"changed forever" after his party pushed the incumbent New Democrats to the brink, in an election that was too close to call late Saturday.
Regardless of the final outcome, it was a spectacular turnaround for the Conservatives, who won less than 2 per cent of the vote in the last election, and for Rustad, who led them out of the political wilderness. Outgoing NDP MLA George Heyman, who did not run for re-election, said it was always"going to be a tight election."
Botterell, a retired lawyer who won his riding with nearly 12,000 votes, said it was an “exciting day” for him and he was “honoured” for the opportunity to serve his constituents.
