In 2009 , Vicki Huntington became the first Independent MLA elected to the B.C. legislature in 60 years .

Huntington was the first ever woman re-elected as an Independent , representing Delta until 2017 .

She thinks the political landscape is primed to again to elect an Independent in the Oct. 19 election.

Forty Independent candidates will be on the ballot, attempting to follow the path that Huntington blazed.

Six incumbent MLAs running as independents “is unprecedented” in a B.C. election.

University of the Fraser Valley political scientist Hamish Telford said the Independents could have a ground advantage’ in ridings where the governing NDP is not a factor.

Davies said changes in election law since Huntington ran mean that large corporate donations are not available, but his constituents have been willing to open their chequebooks.
