B.C. election results: Recounts completed in 2 of 3 ridings [Video]

Two of the three recounts in B.C.’s 2024 provincial election have been completed, with no change to the standings in either riding.

The B.C. NDP’s Amna Shah remains in the lead in Surrey City Centre, with 6,618 votes to her B.C. Conservative opponent Zeeshan Wahla’s 6,443 votes, according to results posted Sunday night.

Shah was ahead by just 95 votes in the initial count, but the latest numbers include additional mail-in and assisted telephone ballots, which were tallied over the weekend as part of Elections B.C.’s final count.

With those ballots included, Shah’s lead has increased to 175 votes.

A partial recount in Kelowna Centre was also finished on Sunday, with the latest results showing Conservative candidate Kristina Loewen ahead with 10,948 votes to NDP candidate Loyal Wooldridge’s 10,880 votes.

The third recount, in the Vancouver Island riding of Juan de Fuca-Malahat, is not expect to be completed until Monday.
