Shypitka and Clovechok officially re-elected following final vote count

Elections BC has officially completed their final vote from the October 24th election, confirming Tom Shypitka and Doug Clovechok’s re-election in Kootenay East and Columbia River-Revelstoke.

Following the conclusion of the final count over the weekend, the NDP have 57 seats in the B.C. Legislature to form a majority government, while the Liberals have 28 and the Green Party has two. However, the Liberals lead the Greens in West Vancouver-Sea to Sky by just 41 votes, leading to a judicial recount.
