2017 British Columbia General Election

The 2017 British Columbia general election determined the provincial government, where voters chose representatives for the Legislative Assembly. The major parties were the BC Liberal Party, led by Christy Clark, and the BC New Democratic Party (NDP), led by John Horgan, with the Green Party also playing a role. The election resulted in a hung parliament, meaning no party had a clear majority. After negotiations, the NDP and Green Party formed a confidence-and-supply agreement, allowing Horgan to become Premier. This election marked a shift in BC politics, with increased influence for the Green Party and a move toward more progressive policies.
