CentreBC names candidate in upcoming byelection in Abbotsford-Mission

On Sunday, CentreBC announced Lakhwinder Jhaj as its candidate for the Abbotsford-Mission by-election scheduled for Sept. 26, positioning her as a moderate, pragmatic alternative in the race.
Premier David Eby called the by-election after former MLA Reann Gasper resigned on Aug. 22, creating an opening for Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay to seek the seat.
Leader Mike Bernier called Jhaj a "strong, community-minded candidate" focused on serving people. Jhaj stated she is running to provide a voice centered on local priorities rather than partisan agendas.
Jhaj faces competition from Findlay and former NDP agriculture minister Pam Alexis. The race unfolds as six Conservative MLAs left Findlay's caucus this month to sit as independents.
Eligible voters can contact Elections BC at 1-800-661-8683 for registration details before the Sept. 26 poll. The by-election represents an opportunity for voters to choose a new kind of politics.
