VANCOUVER - British Columbia Premier and NDP Leader David Eby has won re-election in the riding of Vancouver-Point Grey.

Eby was first elected to the riding in 2013, when he defeated then-premier and former ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ Liberal leader Christy Clark.

He is a former executive director of the ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ Civil Liberties Association who became premier in 2022 after John Horgan stepped aside.

Eby was challenged in Vancouver-Point Grey by ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ Conservative candidate Paul Ratchford, who says on a social media profile that he is the owner of a private real estate company.
