Canadian federal election results in the British Columbia Interior

This is page shows results of Canadian federal elections in the interior of British Columbia.

Regional profile

The BC Interior is a fairly conservative area today, although it has not always been that way. From the early days of the party to the early 1990s, this region was a New Democratic Party until its support throughout the entire province collapsed in 1993. From 1993 to 2000, the Reform and Canadian Alliance parties took over in a dramatic shift (widely seen as a protest vote against established parties), winning handily in nearly every riding. The Conservatives continued to hold most of the seats in 2004 (with one exception in the northwestern corner of the province), although the NDP did make some gains and hope to pick up an additional seat or two here in the coming election, although with staunch divisions on issues such as same-sex marriage somewhat favouring the Conservatives here, it will be an uphill battle. Some of the strongest conservative support is in Kelowna and the Okanagan, where a large number of retirees reside. For decades, the only close races in this region have been between the Conservatives and NDP. This is one of the weakest areas across Canada for the federal Liberals, who are not expected to contend for any seats.
