Tamara Jansen of the Conservatives has been elected in Cloverdale-Langley City.
Liberal incumbent John Aldag came in second place, trailing Jansen by just over 1,000 votes.
Aldag’s win was one of the big surprises of the 2015 federal election. The victory made him one of B.C.’s 15 new Liberal MPs, winning the seat with 45.5 per cent of the vote. Conservative Dean Drysdale finished second with 34.7 per cent of the vote in that race.
