Lorne Doerkson leads trader pricing at 75.5% for next Premier of British Columbia ahead of the October 24, 2026, general election, reflecting the BC Conservatives’ position as frontrunners after internal stabilization. David Eby trails at 24.5% as the incumbent NDP leader who called the snap election on September 22 amid Conservative disarray. Doerkson was appointed interim Conservative leader on September 20 following Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s resignation and has overseen the return of multiple MLAs, including Peter Milobar, restoring caucus unity. Recent polling has shown the Conservatives ahead, positioning Doerkson to form government if the party secures a majority. Other named candidates remain at negligible levels consistent with limited prospects in the current contest.
