"We are gonna keep pushing.".Rustad then described what he would do in the "unfortunate" event the NDP forms a minority government, vowing to "make it as difficult as possible for the NDP to do any more destruction to this province."He also suggested that if such a scenario played out, the Eby "would not do a single thing he promised.".BC ELECTION: Results inconclusive with over 99% of votes counted.According to Elections BC, as of 12:30 a.m. PST with 99.72% of the votes counted, the NDP sit at 46 seats to the Conservatives' 45.
