Global News is projecting that BC Conservative candidate Jody Toor has been elected in the riding of Langley-Willowbrook.
This is a pickup for the Conservative party, which was held by NDP MLA Andrew Mercier who first took office in 2020.
Mercier did run in this election.
Langley-Willowbrook is a provincial riding located in the Fraser Valley & Maple Ridge region.
This new riding was created out of the former Langley electoral district. Mercier was the first and only BC NDP to be elected to the riding and this contest was one to watch.
For many voters, their riding may have changed in this upcoming provincial election.
Following the 2020 provincial election, the Electoral Boundaries Commission was required to complete a redistribution of seats.
After the final report was released, an act was passed in 2023 to increase seats in the B.C. legislature from 87 to 93. This includes four new ridings in the Lower Mainland, one on Vancouver Island, and one in the Interior.
In addition, 72 ridings had their boundaries adjusted. Forty-one ridings had their names changed.
Voters will decide who will represent Langley-Willowbrook during the upcoming B.C. provincial election on Oct. 19, 2024.
