The scheduled Abbotsford-Mission by-election for September 26 was cancelled after Premier David Eby called the October 24 provincial general election, shifting the contest into the broader vote and discarding prior ballots. Former Conservative MLA Reann Gasper's August resignation to enable leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay's run, followed by Findlay's leadership exit amid caucus departures, opened the door for Darryl Kropp as the Conservative nominee. Pam Alexis of the BC NDP, Lakhwinder Jhaj of CentreBC, and others carried over from by-election nominations, but the expanded field and general-election dynamics have kept trader consensus fragmented, with numerous outcomes at 50% and named contenders at low single-digit levels. This structure reflects uncertainty over resolution timing and vote splitting in the riding.
