Gordon Zhang leads trader sentiment for the Richmond-Steveston seat in the October 24, 2026, British Columbia provincial election, reflecting BC Conservative momentum in the riding after two-term NDP incumbent Kelly Greene opted not to seek re-election over policy differences on the Tilbury LNG project. Projections from multiple models show Conservatives holding a clear edge in this open contest against NDP candidate Bruce Kong, with Zhang’s community involvement in Richmond business and local causes cited as supportive factors. Independent Robert Evans’s planned withdrawal to back CentreBC’s Barry Wosk has consolidated some anti-Conservative support but left the latter’s odds modest. Minor-party entries, including CanWest’s Keenan Yang, remain peripheral. The 12-day timeline leaves limited room for late shifts absent major campaign developments.
