Just over 66 per cent of eligible voters in the Kelowna riding voted in this federal election.
It was an eventful election in B.C.’s Interior.
Conservative former MLA Ellis Ross flipped Skeena-Bulkley Valley in the Northwest, and Conservative Helena Konanz flipped Similkameen-South Okanagan-West Kootenay as Pierre Poilievre’s party painted virtually every riding in in the region blue.
The exception appears to be in Kelowna, where Fuhr was leading incumbent Gray by fewer than 100 votes late Monday night.
