Current Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke is leading what is turning out to be an otherwise divided field of challengers going into the municipal election this weekend. According to a new Canada Pulse Insights poll, done exclusively for Rogers OMNI TV, 33 per cent of decided voters plan to vote for Locke. This is 17 points ahead of former mayor Doug McCallum of the Safe Surrey Coalition and Linda Annis with Surrey First, both at 16 per cent.

(CBC News)One of Surrey's most dominant political figures in the last three decades is back. Voters have returned Doug McCallum for a fifth term as mayor of Surrey. McCallum beat out five other candidates, including Surrey Coun. Linda Annis and incumbent Brenda Locke — who had defeated him by fewer than 1,000 votes in the city's 2022 election. "I love Surrey, that's why I ran. I love Surrey, but I even love the people of Surrey more," McCallum told a crowd of enthusiastic supporters Saturday night.

As the results started trickling in for the Surrey election over the weekend, one thing became clear very quickly: Doug McCallum had more than a fighting chance to win. Then, without warning, Brenda Locke took the stage at her election night headquarters and made a concession speech, well before the final results were tallied.

Pete Fry, leader of the Green Party of Vancouver, has been elected the city’s new mayor, dethroning ABC Vancouver’s Ken Sim. As the results started to roll in, Fry jumped to an early lead that never let up.
