ABOUT NORTH ISLAND
Incumbent: Michele Babchuk (NDP | 2020)
2020 results:
- NDP – 51%
- Liberal – 24%
- Green – 19%
- Conservative – 6%
There was a relatively tight NDP-Liberal race in the North Island riding in 2005, but the NDP wins have been more comfortable since then, and New Democrat Michele Babchuk had more than double the votes of her nearest competitor (a Liberal) in 2020.
Babchuk, a former Campbell River city councillor, is running again. Marine biologist Nic Dedeluk is campaigning for the Greens, while Anna Kindy, a physician, is running for the Conservatives.
