The Abbotsford-Mission by-election, set for September 26 after Reann Gasper resigned to allow BC Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay to seek a seat, features a rematch with NDP candidate Pam Alexis, who lost the riding by roughly 10 points in 2024. Trader odds reflect a narrow edge for Findlay amid uncertainty from multiple minor-party entrants, CentreBC's Lakhwinder Jhaj, and recent Conservative caucus defections that have complicated party cohesion. A short campaign window, advance voting from September 18-23, and mixed signals on leader preference versus candidate support have kept probabilities clustered near even. Further separation could emerge after nominations close on September 5, depending on turnout patterns in this Fraser Valley riding and any late shifts in local issues like housing or health care.
