For Surrey City Centre, we choose Amna Shah
The incumbent’s community history and public responsibilities shape our choice in the 2026 contest.
Greater Vancouver News sees in Shah a representative whose earlier local service and time in office fit the needs of a growing riding.
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.
