Global News is projecting Simon Yu has won a crowded race to become the next mayor of Prince George in the 2022 B.C. municipal election.
Incumbent Mayor Lyn Hall did not seek re-election this year, after winning the job handily in 2018 with more than 91 per cent of the vote.
Joining Yu on council will be incumbents Brian Skakun, Garth Frizzell, Kyle Sampson, Cori Ramsay and Susan Scott, along with newcomers Ron Polillo, Trudy Klassen and longtime school trustee Tim Bennett.
