The 43rd Parliament of British Columbia was chosen in the 2024 British Columbia general election.[2]

It is the first Legislature in British Columbia to have a majority of female legislators, with 49 of 93 (52%) female MLAs, and the first in any Canadian province or territory to achieve this through a general election.[a][3]

Opposition MLAs from the Conservative and Green caucuses were sworn in on November 12, 2024, and the governing New Democratic MLAs were sworn in on November 13, 2024.[4]

Raj Chouhan, the MLA for Burnaby-New Westminster, was re-elected as the speaker of the Legislative Assembly.
