Green Party Leader Elizabeth May safely won her riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands for another term.
May won her third straight victory over a Conservative in the traditionally right-leaning riding, finishing with more than twice as many votes as second-place finisher David Busch.
Liberal candidate Ryan Windsor came in third, a disappointing result for the Central Saanich mayor who was tapped by the party in a clear attempt to unseat May. The NDP’s Sabina Singh and People’s Party of Canada candidate Ron Broda came in fourth and fifth, respectively.
