With 417 days still to go between today and election day, Saturday, October 17th, 2026 Vancouver candidate for Mayor, Kareem Allam, has begun his campaign for the Mayor’s office in earnest, rolling out the first of dozens of campaign videos.
With a well-experienced campaign manager (a highly regarded apparatchik in the New Democratic Party) already in place, 14 months out from next year’s Vancouver municipal election, Kareem Allam — running with the newly created Vancouver civic party, the Vancouver Liberals — means to oust Vancouver’s current right-of-centre Mayor, Ken Sim, from office and return sanity to Vancouver City Hall, with a renewed commitment to providing good government at 12th and Cambie, and to Vancouver’s beleagurered residents, for perhaps the first time in decades.
