Things we learned from the by-election
KAMLOOPS — So, what did we learn from the by-election?
Well, for one thing, even though the turnout was diaphanously better than most of us predicted, it was still pitiful. Nobody should be pleased with a 21 per cent turnout.
Ken Christian’s vote total of a little over 9,200 was the lowest received by a winning mayoral candidate in 20 years, despite the fact the population of Kamloops has increased by 15,000 during that time.
