Surrey Mayor Desperately Seeks Recount After Narrow 973 Vote Loss
- October 18, 2022
Even though he returned a damaged car back to Surrey and accepted defeat on Saturday, it looks like Surrey mayor Doug McCallum’s backers want him to continue fighting the election he lost narrowly but by nearly a 1000 votes, which is nearly impossible to do even with a recount. McCallum, who was defeated in Saturday’s Surrey municipal election by 973 votes, said in a statement released Monday evening, that his party — the Safe Surrey Coalition — stated “with less than a 1,000 vote difference, Mayor Doug McCallum is not conceding at this point in time.”

SURREY – Even though he returned a damaged car back to Surrey and accepted defeat on Saturday, it looks like Surrey mayor Doug McCallum’s backers want him to continue fighting the election he lost narrowly but by nearly a 1000 votes, which is nearly impossible to do even with a recount.
McCallum, who was defeated in Saturday’s Surrey municipal election by 973 votes, said in a statement released Monday evening, that his party — the Safe Surrey Coalition — stated “with less than a 1,000 vote difference, Mayor Doug McCallum is not conceding at this point in time.”
The party said that it had advisers reviewing Section 148 of the Local Government Act, which outlines rules for requesting a judicial recount through the Supreme Court of B.C.
Following the release of election results on Saturday, McCallum conceded defeat to Brenda Locke, who had secured 33,311 votes compared to McCallum’s 32,338.
