VANCOUVER—The leader of the British Columbia Liberals says he will use his new seat in the legislature to look the NDP government leaders “straight in their eyes and ask tough questions.”

Kevin Falcon won the Vancouver−Quilchena byelection in a landslide Saturday with 6,200 votes—more than double the 2,590 ballots of his nearest challenger NDP candidate Jeanette Ashe, according to preliminary results.
