Vancouver voters will decide if the NDP still holds the city. In 2024, the NDP won 11 of 12 Vancouver ridings with only Dallas Brodie’s win for the Conservative party in Vancouver-Quilchena keeping the NDP from sweeping the city.

After an acrimonious split last year from the Conservatives, Brodie will in this election be running for OneBC in Vancouver-Quilchena.

In 2024, the NDP gained two more Vancouver seats compared with the nine of 11 it won in the 2020 snap COVID-19 election.

The race in Vancouver-Yaletown, which was close in 2024, could be competitive again for the Tories, as could Vancouver-Langara.

The B.C. NDP’s Niki Sharma beat the Conservative’s Jacob Burdge by 8,846 votes in 2024, which represented a margin of victory of almost 40 in percentage terms. She faces Phyllis Tang of the Conservative party, Kyra Philbert of the B.C. Green party, Christian Bosio of CentreBC, as well as Kimball Cariou of the Communist Party of B.C., and Phil Webb of the Libertarian party.

The B.C. NDP’s Spencer Chandra Herbert beat the Conservative’s Jon Ellacott by 7,466 votes, or a margin of victory of 35.8 in percentage terms in 2024. This time, the race could be tighter as he faces the Conservative party’s Dion Weisner, who was a staffer with both the former B.C. Liberals and Alberta’s United Conservative Party. Weisner had been director of research for the B.C. Conservative caucus starting in January 2025 until Kerry-Lynne Findlay took over in July 2026 for her brief tenure as party leader. Scott MacDonald of the B.C. Green party is also running.

The B.C. NDP’s Mable Elmore beat the Conservative’s Syed Mohsin by 5,652 votes or a margin of victory of 29.4 in percentage terms in 2024. This time, she faces Adam Hawk of the B.C. Green party and Aron Lageri of the Conservative party.

The B.C. NDP’s Adrian Dix beat the Conservative’s Tom Ikonomou by 5,656 votes or a margin of victory of 32.5 in percentage terms in 2024. This time, Ikonomou will once again represent the Conservative party and Rebecca Haber will run for the B.C. Green party and Lisa Prescott for CentreBC.

The B.C. NDP’s Joan Phillip beat the Conservative’s Scott Muller by 10,243 votes or a margin of victory of 51.1 in percentage terms in 2024. Phillip, an Indigenous leader and longtime climate campaigner, died last month at the age of 74, after an illness.

This time, the B.C. NDP’s Amanda Burrows will face Tanya Webking of the B.C. Green party and Robert Crooks of the Communist Party of B.C. The Conservative party dropped its candidate, Jordan Zheng McIntosh, on Oct. 15 after it was discovered that he allegedly posted remarks online about the Holocaust and Hitler.

This could be one of the closer races to watch. The B.C. NDP’s Terry Yung beat the Conservative’s Melissa De Genova in 2024 by only 1,161 votes or a margin of victory of 6.8 in percentage terms. This time, he faces three candidates, including Margareta Dovgal of the Conservative party. Sam Chandola is running for CentreBC. The NDP challenged the nomination of the B.C. Green candidate, Priyan Samarakoone, but the petition filed in B.C. Supreme Court was dismissed.

The closest race in Vancouver in 2024 was in Langara, and it could be one of the city’s most likely ridings to flip this year. In 2024, B.C. NDP candidate Sunita Dhir won Vancouver-Langara with 48.4 per cent of the vote, a mere 2.4 per cent — or 419 votes — ahead of her Conservative opponent Bryan Breguet.

Dhir is seeking re-election and will face a strong challenge from Conservative candidate Jaime Stein, who was nominated as the B.C. United candidate in this riding in 2024 before that party withdrew from the 2024 election. The Green candidate is John Atoyebi, and Alan Beesley is running for CentreBC.

Former Vancouver city councillor Christine Boyle won this riding for the NDP in 2024 in her first provincial run, and went on to hold key cabinet positions over the last two years, including minister of housing and municipal affairs and minister of Indigenous relations and reconciliation.

In the last provincial election, Boyle defeated another former Vancouver politician, Conservative candidate and ex-park board commissioner John Coupar, by more than 30 per cent. Boyle is seeking re-election this year in Vancouver-Little Mountain running against Conservative candidate Alex Muir, who previously worked as a communications staffer on Parliament Hill in Ottawa and played for the Canadian junior national rugby team, and Green candidate Sarah MacLeod.

B.C. NDP Leader David Eby has held this riding ever since he defeated then-B.C. Liberal Leader Christy Clark in 2013. In the last provincial election, Eby beat the Conservative challenger by 22 per cent, and this year he’s seeking a fifth term running against Conservative candidate Alex McMillan, and Beatrice Sharpe of the B.C. Greens.

The only Vancouver riding that prevented a complete wave of NDP orange in 2024 was Vancouver-Quilchena, where Brodie won. Brodie, however, was ejected from the Conservative caucus in 2025 and is now running for re-election in Quilchena with the upstart OneBC party, which she helped launch last year and now leads.

Brodie will face Conservative candidate Carson Binda, who will be familiar to many British Columbians as the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s B.C. director, and NDP candidate Callista Ryan, a former communications professional who worked with the B.C. public service.

The B.C. NDP’s George Chow won this riding in 2024, defeating Conservative candidate Jag S. Sanghera by 20 per cent. Chow isn’t running again this year, and the NDP candidate is former Richmond-Queensborough MLA Aman Singh. Singh is running against Conservative candidate Deep Sandhu and the Greens’ Francoise Raunet, who also ran in this riding in 2024 and finished third.

Vancouver-South Granville was a new riding created before the 2024 election, created from parts of Vancouver-Fairview, Vancouver-False Creek and Vancouver-Point Grey. Brenda Bailey won this riding for the NDP in 2024 by nearly 40 per cent.

Bailey served as finance minister during the past term, until she stepped back from the cabinet role in August after announcing that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Bailey said she was receiving treatment and her prognosis was good, but she announced last month that she wouldn’t seek re-election.

New NDP candidate Lara Honrado is running in this riding this year, facing the Greens’ Maria J. Cruz, the Conservatives’ Lisa Phillips, CentreBC’s Colin Smith, and OneBC’s Salvatore Vetro.
