Election opinion: Amna Shah is our Surrey City Centre pick

Our publisher’s choice draws on her 2024 mandate, provincial roles and earlier local volunteer work.

For this fast-moving provincial campaign, our position is clear: Shah’s recorded constituency experience merits another term.

The public record behind our choice

The Province of B.C. biography records Shah’s earlier volunteer and board service with the Surrey Food Bank. Elections BC’s 2024 statement of votes records her election in Surrey City Centre. These are the starting points for our editorial judgment.

The provincial biography also lists responsibilities in mental health and addictions, anti-racism initiatives, and government caucus work. We value that experience and support Shah for another term representing Surrey City Centre.

This is our preference, not an election forecast. Voters can assess every candidate using Elections BC’s official 2026 candidate list. For a source-linked account that is separate from this opinion, read our Amna Shah public-record profile.
