Pete Fry holds the leading position in the Vancouver mayoral race after progressive parties consolidated support behind the Green Party candidate in early September, with OneCity’s William Azaroff and COPE’s Stephanie Allen withdrawing to avoid splitting the vote against incumbent Ken Sim. A September poll showed Fry at 45% among decided voters compared to Sim’s 30%, with smaller shares for Colleen Hardwick, Kareem Allam, and Rebecca Bligh. The October 17 election features key issues including housing affordability, public safety, and city services, alongside advance voting that has seen strong mail-in participation. Traders’ consensus reflects Fry’s momentum from unified backing and polling trends, while Sim’s support remains concentrated among those favoring the current administration’s priorities.
