Bert Chen leads preliminary counts in the Cowichan Valley riding after the October 24, 2026 provincial election, reflecting a tight contest against incumbent NDP MLA Debra Toporowski. Chen, the Conservative candidate with local forestry and infrastructure experience, holds a narrow edge in initial tallies from most ballot boxes, while Toporowski trails by roughly 150 votes. Justin Douglas of the BC Green Party and James Chumsa of the Communist Party of BC remain far behind. The snap election, called after the September dissolution of the legislature, occurs amid local economic pressures including the Crofton mill closure. Outstanding mail-in, absentee, and special ballots could still alter the result in this riding that shifted to NDP control in 2024. Trader consensus aligns with Chen’s current position in the vote count.
