The polls have been closed for three days, but B.C.’s three main political parties continue to jockey for control of the provincial legislature.

The B.C. NDP submitted formal requests on Friday for recounts in three closely contested Vancouver-area constituencies — Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, Vancouver-False Creek, and Richmond-Queensborough — which all went Liberal red on election night Tuesday.

The tightest race of the three is in Richmond-Queensborough, where Liberal Jas Johal, a former TV news reporter with Global B.C., edged Aman Singh, a human rights lawyer and small business owner, by 263 votes.

In Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, Liberal Joan Issacs’ election-night lead of 170 votes over NDP incumbent Jodie Wickens was bumped to 268 on Friday due to what Elections B.C. termed a “transcription error.”

There is a 560-vote spread in Vancouver-False Creek, where Liberal incumbent Sam Sullivan beat NDP challenger Morgane Oger.
