Incumbent BC NDP candidate Ravi Kahlon is projected to keep his seat in Delta North.
From Olympic field hockey player to MLA, Kahlon has taken a unique route to politics.
The Delta North MLA moved from the pitch to become a political staffer for the NDP before becoming a politician himself.
In 2017 Delta North was one of the 11 seats the BC NDP picked up in Metro Vancouver.
Kahlon defeated Liberal incumbent Scott Hamilton by more than 2,100 votes.
RCMP staff sergeant and youth mentor Jet Sunner was running for the BC Liberals in the riding. This is a riding where the Liberals have had success before and were hoping to replicate that success.

- BC NDP: Ravi Kahlon
