After the B.C. Liberals lost a confidence vote, it appears NDP Leader John Horgan could become B.C.'s next premier.

Horgan arrived at Government House Thursday evening after the lieutenant-governor met with Premier Christy Clark.

Shortly after Clark's meeting with Judith Guichon, it was revealed Horgan would be arriving at Government House.

In a tweet, Horgan said "British Columbians finally have the change they voted for."

"Thank you to everyone who got us here," he wrote. "The hard work starts now."

​Although Clark's Liberals won the most seats in the May 9 election, they finished one seat short of a majority.

The NDP and Green Party committed to defeating the government and forming an NDP government with Green support.

Premier addressed house

Clark spoke of "humility and "gratitude" in the legislature ahead of the confidence vote, which her government lost 42-44, with all 41 NDP and three Green MLAs voting for Horgan's motion.

This is what Premier Clark said just before her government was toppled. "If this marks the end of my government I stand here with humility." <a href="https://t.co/j7TqJRGcEe">pic.twitter.com/j7TqJRGcEe</a> —@cbcnewsbc

Clark used her time at the podium to promote her government's agenda, which has changed substantially since the May 9 election.

She spoke of the importance of affordable housing, transit projects and child care.

"I hear a lot of people say we changed.… But leaders do not lead by refusing to adapt," she said "I've heard the message from the people of British Columbia."

But she also reiterated her support for the Site C Dam project and her commitment to fiscal restraint.

Opposition leader Horgan tabled the non-confidence motion earlier in the week, and said he was hopeful for a call from the lieutenant-governor.

Shortly after Clark entered Government House, Speaker of the legislature Steve Thomson announced his resignation.
