Canada election results: Cloverdale–Langley City

Cloverdale–Langley City was one of the most-watched seats in Metro Vancouver on election night.

It was a close race between candidate Conservative Tamara Jansen and Liberal incumbent John Aldag.

However, Aldag has been elected with 38.7 per cent of the vote. Jansen came in second with 36.4 per cent and NDP’s Rajesh Jayaprakash captured 19.9 per cent.

Aldag held the seat from 2015 to 2019 but was beaten by Jansen in 2019 by fewer than 1,400 votes.
