Liberal incumbent Mary Polak held onto her seat in the revamped riding of 91原创 but she will have fewer Liberal MLA colleagues in the new B.C. government.

Polak had just over 44 per cent of the votes as of 10:26 p.m. with NDP candidate Gail Chaddock-Costello at 34 per cent, Green Elizabeth Walker at 15 per cent, Conservative candidate Justin Greenwood at 5 per cent and Libertarian Robert Pobran at 0.7 per cent.

When Polak was declared the winner Tuesday evening, she said she felt 鈥淎 great deal of relief鈥� and praised her volunteers.

Despite having been in office for more than a decade, she was still emotional.

鈥淚 have been a bundle of nerves the entire day. They kicked me out of the office early in the day,鈥� she joked.

Polak said she still wants to be in politics and work for the people of 91原创.

But she enters a very different political landscape.

The Liberals are down to 43 seats, the NDP has 41, and the Greens won three.

Polak said she鈥檒l be sad to see some of her Liberal colleagues leave office. Former 91原创 City mayor Peter Fassbender lost his Surrey seat.

鈥淐ertainly I鈥檇 be sad to see Peter leave us as part of our caucus, but you always trust in the voters,鈥� she said.

At Polak鈥檚 gathering Tuesday evening was Jasmine Tatla. The seven-year-old was attending with her grandparents.

鈥淪he said 鈥業 want to go鈥�,鈥� said her grandmother, Manjit Gill.

Jasmine has already said she wants to go into politics when she grows up.

Gill added that the little girl has been following along with the campaign although Jasmine still learning the finer points of a political campaign.

鈥淪he just asked me 鈥業s Christy Clark here鈥�,鈥� grandma said with a chuckle.
