Pete Fry leads the Vancouver mayoral race as the consolidated progressive challenger after COPE and OneCity candidates withdrew and endorsed him earlier in the campaign, narrowing the field against incumbent Ken Sim of ABC Vancouver. Recent Leger and other polls show Fry narrowly ahead or tied with Sim among decided voters in a contest with roughly one-third undecided and just days until the October 17 election, amid voter concerns over housing affordability, public safety, and city services. Sim’s approval ratings remain low, while Fry benefits from name recognition as the primary opposition councillor. Prediction market pricing reflects trader assessment of these dynamics favoring Fry, though late shifts in turnout or undecided preferences could still influence the outcome.
