There will be a new Member of Parliament in Similkameen-Okanagan-West Kootenay.

Richard Cannings did not seek re-election after serving three terms with Linda Sankey now carrying the NDP banner.

Her biggest challenge is expected to come from Conservative Helena Konanz who is taking her third run at the seat.

She came close to upsetting Cannings in 2019, who won re-election comfortably in 2021, but by plugging the 2021 balloting into the newly redistributed riding narrows that gap to around 800 votes, so this is a race to watch.

Gloria Morgan of the Liberals, Phillip Mansfield of the Green Party and Barry Dewar of the People’s Party of Canada rounds out the slate of five candidates in the riding that includes Grand Forks, Castlegar and Rossland

He unseated New Democrat Wayne Stetski in 2019 and defeated him again in 2021 by a similar margin.

Liberal Robin Goldsbury finished a distant third in both elections and is running again.

Using the 2021 ballots in this redistributed riding that added the city of Trail, has the Conservatives garnering over 50% of the vote and extending their advantage over the New Democrats to about 6,000.

It also has the Green’s vaulting past the Liberals into third place.

The other candidates are New Democrat Kallie Linns, Steven Maffioli of the Green Party, Laurie Baird of the People’s Party of Canada and Independent James Wiedrick.
