Darryl Plecas, noted criminology professor has been elected in Abbotsford South. Plecas talked about strategy going into the election.
"We knew right from the beginning there was a disproportionate number of people in the South Asian community who were NDP supporters and we knew that if we were going to win we had to convert some of those NDP supporters over."
Plecas defeated John van Dongen the Liberal cabinet minister who joined the Conservatives, then went independent.
