Elizabeth May, co-leader of the federal Green Party in BC, will represent Saanich-Gulf Island on Vancouver Island for the fifth time in the House of Commons. She defeated Kathy Onsted of the Conservatives, David Beckham of the Liberals and Colin Plant of the NDP.
The special thing is that in the election polls, this election was considered a challenge for May but she managed to retain her seat. She has represented this seat since 2011. Speaking to the media after her victory, May said that she is not surprised by the results and is excited to return to work in Ottawa.
It is worth noting that the Green Party previously had two seats in Parliament but lost her Outremont riding of Outremont with May, the party's co-leader Jonathan Padenault-Montreal, finishing in fifth place with less than 10 per cent of the vote.
