B.C. election 2020: Surrey South results

BC Liberal Stephanie Cadieux has been reelected in Surrey South, Global News projects.

The riding is relatively new, created from parts of Surrey-Cloverdale and Surrey-Panorama in the 2015 seat redistribution.

While the seat is new, the area has historically favoured the BC Liberals.

Cadieux, minister of children and family development in Christy Clark’s government, won by almost 4,800 votes at the riding’s first contest in 2017.

The area has experienced rapid population growth in recent years, and the subsequent pressure on schools has been an election issue in the past.

Former Surrey mayoral candidate Pauline Greaves ran for the BC NDP.

The prediction for a relatively new riding like this one is difficult without more past elections to review.

Cadieux won handily in 2017, with a margin of victory of more than 18 per cent. It was the 19th closest race of the 43 seats won by the BC Liberals.
