BC Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson has hung onto his seat in Vancouver-Quilchena, Global News projects.
Wilkinson defeated NDP challenger Heather McQuillan.
Wilkinson has represented the second wealthiest riding in B.C. since 2013. He won the last election in 2017 by more than 6,000 votes and the race before that by nearly 9,000.
McQuillan, who works in the film industry, finished third for the federal NDP in Chilliwack-Hope last year.
Before Wilkinson, the riding was held by former longtime BC Liberal finan
ce minister Colin Hansen.
The Liberals have never lost the seat, which was created in 1991.
