The current standings in B.C.’s 87-seat legislature are: NDP at 55; BC United at 27; Green Party at two; one Independent; two vacancies
The NDP is expected to hold onto two British Columbia ridings where byelections will be held Saturday after the resignations of senior government figures, but the parties that take second place could provide hints about the next general election.
“I think we would expect the NDP to win these, but in these two ridings the Greens came second last time,” Telford said in an interview. “If Kevin Falcon’s strategy of rebuilding and rebranding the former B.C. Liberal Party is going to pay off, it has to pay off in Vancouver and the suburbs around Vancouver,” he said. “It’s got to show some traction in a riding like this to sort of indicate he’s having some success with what he’s trying to do.”
In Vancouver-Mount Pleasant in 2020, the NDP’s Mark took almost 67 per cent of the vote, with the Greens at 20 per cent and the B.C. Liberal candidate at 12.9 per cent.The current standings in the 87-seat B.C. legislature are: NDP at 55; BC United with 27; Green Party at two; there is one Independent; and the two vacancies.
Five candidates are running in Langford-Juan de Fuca, including Camille Currie, Green; Mike Harris, Conservative; Tyson Riel Strandlund, Communist Party of B.C.; Lawson, BC United; and Parmar, NDP.Lawson, who has a son with autism, is a community activist and co-founder of the Children’s Autism Federation of B.C.
