Vancouver mayoral candidate Ken Sim got a significant boost when three current city councillors said they’d be running with him in this fall’s election
A new Vancouver civic party and its mayoral candidate, Ken Sim, got a significant boost Monday when three current city councillors said they’d be running with him in this fall’s election.
The three women will give ABC as many representatives on council as the Green Party, and much more than the NPA, which now counts only Melissa De Genova as a councillor. Ms. Bligh said she couldn’t see running with the party – TEAM for a Livable Vancouver – that has been created by her council colleague Colleen Hardwick because it did not seem to be planning for the future.
“There’s a misalignment there in looking too far in the past on how decisions should be made,” said Ms. Bligh. The election promises to be daunting for all but the most well-read and informed voters. There are currently 10 parties that have said they will be running candidates and five mayoral candidates to date. At least three parties – Greens, OneCity, COPE – have decided to run more council candidates than they did in 2018.
