- Current MLA: None (riding to be contested for the first time in 2024)
- Candidates:
- BC NDP: Christine Boyle
- BC Conservatives: John Coupar
- BC Greens: Wendy Hayko
- Freedom Party of BC: Naomi Chocyk
- Description:
- A newly created riding carved out of portions of Kensington, Fairview, Langara, and False Creek, Vancouver-Little Mountain is shaping up to be a high-profile clash of titans.
- While the redistributed riding would have yielded a comfortable victory for the BC NDP in 2020, the candidacies of John Coupar, former NPA Park Board Commissioner for the Conservatives and Christine Boyle, current OneCity councillor, make this a race to watch.
- The NDP is strong in the Riley Park and Mount Pleasant portions of the riding, while the chunk of Oakridge is firmly small-c conservative. Finally, South Cambie’s condos are home to business and finance professionals that could be open to less government.
- Election 2020 results (with 2024 boundaries):
- BC NDP – 51%
- BC Liberals – 33%
- BC Greens – 15%
- Other – 1%
