The BC NDP's own candidate list, read on 2026-10-03, holds 59 profiles and none is for this district. voche.me found no biography, campaign page or statement by Boparai on that date, so this page gives no personal background. Each section below records what was searched and what was found.

On 2026-10-03 voche.me found no website, party candidate profile, social media account, news report or statement that comes from Boparai or describes her candidacy. The BC NDP candidate list had 59 profiles and none for this district. A person named Binny Boparai sought the BC United nomination in this district in 2023, according to Vernon Matters on November 6, 2023, and Global News of April 8, 2026 names and quotes a Binny Boparai-Gill as co-founder and president of Farming Karma Fruit Company in Kelowna. voche.me found no page that ties either person to the 2026 candidacy, so no biography, employer or earlier role is recorded here. A person who can confirm the identity with the campaign or the party can add it. OneBC named Alexandra Wright as its candidate on October 1, 2026 according to Western News, and she is not on the copy of the Elections BC list stamped October 3, 2026 12:00:06 PM, which shows three candidates. Western News also says Tara Armstrong, who won the district for the Conservatives in 2024, became an Independent after leaving that party. Nominations close at 1 p.m. on October 3, 2026, so the final list can differ. No all-candidates meeting for the district was found. Campaign finances and endorsements were not reviewed. No portrait was added because no campaign photograph or openly licensed photograph was found. The questionnaire has not been sent.
Research status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on 2026-10-03: the Elections BC candidate list stamped October 3, 2026 12:00:06 PM, the Elections BC key dates page, the 2024 statement of votes, the data behind the BC NDP candidate page (59 profiles, none for this district), the BC NDP team page, platform page and releases page, the BC NDP release of October 2, 2026 on grocery prices, and news reports on the district from September 24 to October 2, 2026.
No campaign website, party candidate profile, social media account or statement by Boparai was found. A person named Binny Boparai sought the BC United nomination in this district in 2023, and a Binny Boparai-Gill is named as co-founder and president of a Kelowna company in a Global News report of April 8, 2026. voche.me found no page that says whether either is the 2026 candidate, so this profile uses nothing about them. Sections with no entry record what voche.me did not find on this date.
