The British Columbia NDP appears to have fended off the Conservative surge by a razor thin margin and will form the next provincial government, CBC News projects.

Whether the party forms a minority or majority government is still uncertain.

Currently, the NDP has been elected in 46 ridings and is leading in one, with the Conservatives elected in 43 and leading in one. The B.C. Greens have been elected in two ridings.

With 93 seats in the B.C. Legislature, a majority requires 47.

The victory is a result of Monday's absentee and special ballot counts in ridings that were too close to call.

More to come.
