Conservative Party candidate Scott Anderson has won a seat in Parliament.
Anderson took the Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee seat, beating Liberal Party candidate Anna Warwick Sears, NDP candidate Leah Main and Green Party candidate Blair Visscher. At the time iNFOnews.ca called it for Anderson, at 9:40 p.m., he was leading with 51.2% of the vote with 79.5% of polls reporting well ahead of his nearest competitor with 41% of the vote.
This will be the first time the former City of Vernon councillor has had a seat on Parliament Hill.
Anderson previously sat two terms as a Vernon councillor and unsuccessfully ran for mayor of the city in 2022. He was also the interim party leader for the BC Conservative Party from 2017 to 2019.
A former member of the Canadian military, Anderson owns junk removal company, Dump Runz.
His win follows a tradition in the North Okanagan region which has been voting Tory for more than 40 years.
