Kropp, Alexis, Jhaj and Monds named Abbotsford-Mission candidates
The four candidates include former mayor Pam Alexis and former MLA Reann Gasper, as the riding shifts from a cancelled byelection to the Oct. 24 vote.
- Four parties officially announced candidates for the Abbotsford-Mission riding in the Oct. 24 provincial election: BC NDP's Pam Alexis, CentreBC's Lakhwinder Jhaj, Libertarian Party's Jeff Monds, and Conservative Party's Darryl Kropp.
- Former MLA Reann Gasper resigned in August to make way for former Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay, triggering a Sept. 26 byelection. Findlay later stepped down as party leader amid weeks of internal turmoil and caucus defections.
- Kropp, an executive at RedMane Technology with more than 25 years in Abbotsford, secured the Conservative nomination Saturday . He brings management experience from Cascade Aerospace and 17 years on the First West Credit Union board, the Conservatives said.
- Alexis vowed "we aren't going anywhere" after the byelection cancellation, pledging her team won't quit. She faces Jhaj and Monds, with CentreBC emphasizing community service and the Libertarian Party advocating for a "freer, stronger British Columbia" with less taxes.
- Election day arrives Oct. 24 with Advance voting Oct. 16 to 21. Voters must register by Oct. 1, candidate nominations close Oct. 3, and vote-by-mail requests close Oct. 18.
