## About Sahib Thind

Elections BC lists Sahib Thind as the BC NDP candidate for MLA in Surrey North, on the copy of its list stamped October 1, 2026 11:00:06 PM. The list shows nominations that Elections BC has accepted. Nominations close at 1 p.m. on October 3, 2026. The only other accepted candidate in Surrey North on that copy is Mandeep Singh Dhaliwal of the Conservative Party.

In 2024, Conservative Mandeep Dhaliwal won Surrey North with 7,954 votes (50.67 percent). The sitting member at that election, Rachna Singh of the BC NDP, received 6,795 votes (43.29 percent). voche.me found no candidate named Sahib Thind in the 2024 statement of votes.

The Surrey Now-Leader reported on September 28, 2026 that the NDP had not yet named a candidate in Surrey North. On 2026-10-02 the BC NDP's online list of 2026 candidates held 52 names, and none was for Surrey North. The party's Surrey North page did not name him on that date. voche.me found no page that gives his background, job or reasons for running, and has not contacted the campaign.

</details>

No campaign website, social media account, news report, interview or public statement from this candidate was found on 2026-10-02, so his background, his positions on every scored issue and his reasons for running are unknown. The address sahibthind.bcndp.ca, the pattern the party uses for its candidates' pages, did not load: it sends the reader back to the same address in a loop, as any unused address on that site does. The same happened for four other spellings of his name. The BC NDP's online candidate list held 52 names on 2026-10-02 and did not include Surrey North, and no party release found names him. A post on X said the BC NDP had announced him for Surrey North; X pages need a sign-in, so nothing from it is used. Searches for his name return reporting on a Surrey community organizer with the same name, from 2014 to 2026. No page voche.me read ties that person to this candidacy, so nothing about him is used. Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts under the same name need a sign-in and were not tied to this candidacy, so nothing from them is used. No portrait was found that the candidate or the party published. Campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. Nominations close October 3, 2026, so other candidates may still be added. The questionnaire has not been sent.

Research status

## What voche.me has checked

No campaign website, social media account, news report or statement from this candidate was found. The party platform entries below are the BC NDP's own text, and none of it names him. An empty section records what voche.me did not find on this date.
