VictoriaEby’s snap election handed Conservatives 64 of 93 seats.
It is their first provincial win since 1928, and the party pledges to more than triple natural gas output by 2035.
Premier-designate Lorne Doerkson also promises to cut income taxes by $1,000 a year while the province faces a $13.8-billion deficit.
Doerkson has promised to repeal the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act while calling First Nations partners.
Eby announced Saturday he will step down, leaving the New Democrats, now at 27 seats, to choose a successor.
