Adrian Dix of the BC NDP is projected to win in the riding of Vancouver-Kingsway.
This riding is a story of redemption.
A former political staffer who became a politician and rose through the ranks of the BC New Democratic Party to reach the top as leader. But when it was his time in the spotlight, he sputtered and lost a race that he was highly favoured to win.
Cue the comeback: a seat at the cabinet table as health minister, guiding the province through a global pandemic.
That is the Adrian Dix story.
Dix has served as MLA since 2005. His margin of victory has grown with each turn at the polls, winning by more than 6,500 votes in 2017.
