Global News is projecting that BC NDP incumbent Kelly Greene has been elected in Richmond-Steveston.
Greene first took office in 2020, collecting 10,733 votes, winning 52.07 per cent of the vote.
This was a riding to watch this upcoming election.
This was a longtime BC Liberal riding that flipped in 2020 to NDP. Former BC United candidate Jackie Lee ran as an independent against Greene.
The Conservatives were also targeting this riding.
Richmond-Steveston is a provincial riding located in Metro Vancouver.
For many voters, their riding changed in this upcoming provincial election.
Richmond-Steveston gained areas south of Blundell and west of Gilbert from Richmond-Centre.
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 Richmond-Steveston during the upcoming B.C. provincial election on Oct. 19, 2024.
