British Columbians will soon learn whether NDP Leader David Eby’s snap election gamble paid off or backfired—and CTV News will have comprehensive coverage as results come in Saturday. While Eby seeks a renewed majority mandate, the B.C. Conservatives led by interim leader Lorne Doerkson are hoping to send the NDP to the Opposition benches for the first time in nine years. There’s also a chance the B.C. Greens—who propped up John Horgan’s NDP minority in 2017—could become kingmakers again under Emily Lowan’s leadership. CTV News will deliver in-depth coverage of the historic election, with reporters stationed at party headquarters, expert analysis from political veterans, and polling insights. Early results are expected shortly after polls close at 8 p.m. PCT. Where to watch CTV News’ special coverage begins at 6 p.m. PCT and will be available across CTV News’ digital, social and television platforms.
