Jagrup Brar has been elected in the riding of Surrey-Fleetwood for the BC NDP.
This was a riding to watch because BC Liberal incumbent Peter Fassbender was hoping to hold on to his seat during this election.
In 2013, Fassbender narrowly won the riding by 200 votes.
The riding’s boundaries have changed slightly from 2013, meaning the NDP would have won this riding if the 2013 results were transposed to today.
