Kim Chan Logan was a strong pick for the BC Liberals in this riding, but Kensington is becoming safe NDP territory and incumbent MLA Mable Elmore should cruise to re-election.

Under the right conditions, the BCL could win this district. Elmore is a bit polarizing. In 2013, she won by only 13%, improving on her 2009 margin by only 1%. Despite it being her first election as an incumbent, it was the least improved margin for the NDP of any riding in the city. Since then, Elmore ran for and lost the federal NDP nomination for Vancouver East, which contains absolutely none of Kensington, to popular then-MLA Jenny Kwan whose Mount Pleasant district is mostly contained in Van-East. In a cakewalk it doesn't matter, but a failed attempt to run federally for other constituents is ultimately a liability. If the campaign really goes sideways for the NDP, this seat could be a surprise. But right now, it looks like an NDP hold.

Except for the 2001 BC Liberal Landslide this seat has always gone for the NDP and I don't think it's about to change.

Long term safe NDP seat
