The '''2001 British Columbia general election''' was the 37th provincial election in the Province of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]]. It was held to elect members of the [[Legislative Assembly of British Columbia]]. The election was called on April 18, 2001 and held on May 16, 2001. Voter turnout was 55.4 per cent of all eligible voters.

The incumbent [[British Columbia New Democratic Party]] (BC NDP), in office since 1991, had been rocked by two major scandals—the [[Fast Ferries Scandal]] and a bribery scandal involving [[Premier of British Columbia|Premier]] [[Glen Clark]].  With the NDP's ratings flatlining, Clark resigned in August 1999, and Deputy Premier [[Dan Miller (Canadian politician)|Dan Miller]] took over as caretaker premier until [[Ujjal Dosanjh]] was elected his permanent successor in February. Dosanjh was not, however, able to restore the party's public image, and the BC NDP suffered a resounding defeat at the hands of the [[British Columbia Liberal Party]] (BC Liberals), led by former [[Vancouver]] mayor [[Gordon Campbell (Canadian politician)|Gordon Campbell]].  The BC Liberals won over 57% of the popular vote, and an unprecedented 77 of the 79 seats in the provincial legislature—the largest victory in the province's electoral history.

The BC NDP, on the other hand, suffered a near-total political collapse. The party lost almost half of the share of the popular vote that it had won in the [[1996 British Columbia general election|1996 election]], while its seat count fell from 39 seats to only two—those of Deputy Premier and Education Minister [[Joy MacPhail]] and Community Development Minister [[Jenny Kwan]]. It was easily the worst defeat of a sitting government in British Columbia history. It was also the  fourth worst defeat of a sitting provincial government in Canada, eclipsed only by the [[1987 New Brunswick general election|New Brunswick election of 1987]], the [[1935 Alberta general election|Alberta election of 1935]], and the [[1935 Prince Edward Island general election|Prince Edward Island election of 1935]]. In each of those elections, the governing party–the [[Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick|New Brunswick Tories]], the [[United Farmers of Alberta]] and the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Prince Edward Island|PEI Tories]]–was completely wiped off the map.  Dosanjh resigned as party leader soon after the election; he had actually conceded defeat a week before voters went to the polls. Despite being the only other party in the Assembly, the BC NDP lacked the four seats then required for official party status.<ref>{{cite news|title=B.C.
