Conservatives Secure Landslide Victory in Cloverdale–Langley City Byelection

Tamara Jansen reclaims the B.C. riding for the Conservatives, delivering another setback to Trudeau's Liberals following recent byelection losses.

  • Tamara Jansen won the Cloverdale–Langley City byelection with 61% of the vote, defeating Liberal candidate Madison Fleischer, who garnered 18%, and NDP candidate Vanessa Sharma, who received 15%.
  • The byelection was triggered after former Liberal MP John Aldag resigned to run unsuccessfully in a provincial election for the B.C. NDP.
  • The riding has historically been closely contested, with Jansen and Aldag swapping victories in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections by narrow margins.
  • The voter turnout was notably low, with only 8% of registered electors casting ballots as of partial reporting, compounded by disruptions from a Canada Post strike.
  • This marks the third federal byelection loss for the Liberals in 2024, intensifying internal and external calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as party leader.
