The BC NDP picked up a seat from the Liberals in Boundary-Similkameen, and the Vernon-Monashee race is too close to call.

The riding is one of several safe Liberal seats in the Okanagan.

With five candidates on the ballot, Kelowna-Lake Country voters have choices when it comes to exercising their democratic right at the polls on Saturday.

The BC Green Party announced candidates for Kelowna’s three ridings plus Vernon-Monahsee and the Shuswap.

Krystal Smith will run in Kelowna-Mission, with Justin Kulik running in Kelowna-Lake Country.

First elected in 2009, Letnick more than doubled the vote share of his closest competitor in the last two elections. He also won by more than 5,000 votes in 2009.

Political pundits have also weighed in, including a political science professor who said the snap election call could backfire.

'I think what’s happening is you see this pent-up frustration of not being heard and not taking job losses and issues seriously,' says Kelowna-Lake Country MP Tracy Gray.

Early results are starting to roll in for B.C.’s Southern Interior.
