Lynne Block has been elected as the new MLA for West Vancouver-Capilano. As results from electronic ballots came in at lightning pace Saturday evening, Block was declared the clear winner in her riding less than an hour after polls closed at 8 p.m.
With 18/21 polls reporting, Block secured 10,269 votes. That's well ahead of NDP candidate Sara Eftekhar in second place with 5,829 votes. Incumbent and former BC Liberal MP Karin Kirkpatrick had 4,649 votes and Green candidate Archi Kaario had 1,230 votes.
