Election Night Done!

43rd parliament of Canada.

The 2019 general election is done and Central Okanagan Similkameen Nicola will have Dan Albas as its MP. The former chair of the Penticton united way and incumbent MP took near half the vote on the 21st on October count.

The one hundred and four thousand people and 84,000 electors have spoken for their representation of its 16,000 SQ KM riding.

Dan will be part of the team that will oppose a Trudeau minority government. Andrew Sheer will be as continuing leader ( subject to membership actions) . The Conservative government had a slight edge in the popular vote, not enough seats to attain the 170 needed for a majority or a supported minority.
