Green Leader Sonia Furstenau is set to meet the media for the first time since British Columbia鈥檚 indecisive election on Saturday, amid speculation about a possible minority government.

The Greens announced Tuesday that Furstenau is staying on as leader despite losing her seat in the legislature, saying she was 鈥渋nstrumental鈥� in B.C.鈥檚 2017 minority government and her guidance of the party鈥檚 new caucus will be 鈥渃ritical.鈥�

The Greens say their two elected members, Jeremy Valeriote and Rob Botterell, support Furstenau鈥檚 leadership as they 鈥渘avigate the prospect of having the balance of power in the legislature.鈥�

Initial vote counting shows neither the NDP nor the B.C. Conservatives won enough seats to form majority, and the result will hinge on manual recounts in two ridings and a final tally of absentee and mail-in votes that are all set to begin on Saturday.

Premier and NDP Leader David Eby says the Greens have told his party that it鈥檚 too early to begin talks on a minority government agreement.

The NDP is elected or leading in 46 ridings and the Conservatives in 45, both short of the 47 ridings required for a majority.
