Liberal Leader Zach Churchill has lost his #Yarmouth seat by just 16 votes, according to preliminary results.

I suspect a recount is on the cards (but it's not close enough for an automatic recount).

As we hit 23:00 AST, with 90% of the vote now in, this is where I shall call it a night.

This has been a PC landslide, with the NDP becoming the official opposition and the Liberal leader unsure of his own seat.

Liberal leader Zach Churchill addresses his supporters, unsure if he will be continuing as an MLA.

He is not announcing his resignation as leader tonight; he said he will discuss with family and party officials once the results are known.

PC Leader Tim Houston addresses supporters in Pictou, telling supporters that "make it happen" is not about winning another mandate, but what they do with that mandate.

The PCs have been the main beneficiary of the Liberals' collapse, giving them a landslide win up and down the province.

State of the Parties at 22:30 AST:

The PCs have now clinched their 2/3 majority in their landslide win, with eight seats still to declare.

Still no final answer with the Liberal Leader holding his seat.

NDP leader Claudia Chender addresses her party's supporters.

She will be Leader of the Opposition when the legislature returns following the Liberal collapse. However, nearly all of their seats are in and around Halifax, so rural representation will be a challenge.

With around 2/3 of the vote in, there are currently 15 seats still in doubt.

State of the parties at 22:00 AST:

The PCs are in super-majority territory, on track to win more than 2/3 of seats.

The NDP will form the official opposition, while the Liberal leader is trailing in his own seat.
