By The Canadian Press on October 19, 2024.

A second B.C. Green candidate has won his riding in the provincial election, potentially giving the party a big role in the legislature.

Jeremy Valeriote won in West Vancouver – Sea to Sky, after colleague Rob Botterell won Saanich North and the Islands, previously held by fellow Green Adam Olsen, who did not run.

The Greens also went into the election with two seats in the legislature.

However, party leader Sonia Furstenau was defeated after switching ridings to Victoria – Beacon Hill.
