Liberals win Vancouver Granville after one of the tightest races in the country
CBC
After one of the tightest races in the country, Taleeb Noormohamed has won the seat for the Liberal Party in the Vancouver Granville riding.
Projections for the riding had the NDP, Liberal and Conservative candidates in a near three-way tie over the past two weeks. As polls were counted, Noormohamed and NDP candidate Anjali Appadurai were at times just one or two votes apart.
Thirteen ridings in Canada were considered too close to call on election night, as Election Canada continued ballot counts through Tuesday and Wednesday.
Noormohamed was elected with 17,055 votes. Appadurai received 16,619, and Conservative candidate Kailin Che finished with 13,290.
The riding's last MP was Jody Wilson-Raybould, who won the seat as a Liberal in 2015 but was expelled from the Liberal caucus in the House of Commons in 2018 and stripped of the Liberal Party nomination for the 2019 election, following the SNC Lavalin affair. She won the seat for Vancouver Granville in 2019 as an Independent, beating Noormohamed, who took over as Liberal candidate for the riding in 2018.
She announced she would not be seeking re-election in July of this year.
Noormohamed served as a senior official in the federal government from 2002 to 2007. He then went on to work as an advisor to Bob Rae.
