Green Leader Sonia Furstenau is set to meet the media for the first time since British Columbia’s 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 “instrumental” in B.C.’s 2017 minority government and her guidance of the party’s new caucus will be “critical.”
