Saanich’s open mayoral contest for the October 17, 2026 election features two sitting councillors—Zac de Vries and Karen Harper—plus Save Our Saanich nominee Rishi Sharma after incumbent Dean Murdock stepped aside. De Vries’s June campaign launch drew notable regional support while emphasizing housing, transportation and fiscal continuity; Harper and Sharma have positioned themselves around experienced local governance and community priorities such as controlled development and spending restraint. The race remains tight because the seat is vacant, nominations close only in mid-September, and a concurrent non-binding amalgamation question with Victoria introduces an additional variable for voters. Fresh polling, candidate forums, or endorsements ahead of election day could shift trader assessments of frontrunner positioning.
