Conservatives win first British Columbia election in nearly a century
Original: Conservative party wins first election in nearly a century in British Columbia
The Conservative Party has won an election in British Columbia for the first time in almost 100 years, according to wire reports. The result marks a historic political shift in the western Canadian province, where the Conservatives had not topped an election since the era of the original Provincial party of the 1920s. Reaction is focused on what the breakthrough means for the province's traditionally centre-left politics and for Conservative fortunes nationally.
Why now: A historic first victory in nearly a century is a major political upset drawing wide attention.
