The former three-term councillor won a narrow victory over incumbent Fred Haynes.
The race for the mayor’s seat in Saanich was a nail-biter Saturday night, with Dean Murdock, a former three-term councillor, winning a narrow victory over incumbent Fred Haynes by the end of the night.
Some voting locations still had lines at 8 p.m. when polls closed, but all those voters were able to cast ballots, said chief electoral officer Angila Bains.Saanich, with a population of about 117,000, had the same mayor for about 18 years between 1996 and 2014 — Frank Leonard — followed by one-term mayor Richard Atwell, then Haynes.
A consistent theme on the doorstep during the campaign was that there was “a lot of talk without a lot of actions,” said Murdock. Haynes, 70, was elected mayor in 2018 with 47 per cent of the votes after serving just one term on council. That same year, Murdock, 40, a three-term councillor and CRD director between 2008 to 2018, decided not to run again in order to focus on his family.
