The City records the affiliation as Vancouver Liberals. The page says Bajehkian began studies in aerospace engineering in Iran and completed further study in Canada in physics, mechanical systems and aircraft maintenance engineering. The page says Bajehkian worked at YVR as a ramp agent, in aircraft maintenance, and as a flight data analyst watching helicopter flights for safety. The page says Bajehkian was a member of the Multicultural Advisory Council of BC and helped with the Anti-Racism Data Act and a review of the Police Act. Bajehkian appears at ballot number 223 as a Vancouver Liberals candidate for Park Board commissioner in the election held on October 17, 2026. A Georgia Straight profile published on March 16, 2022 says Bajehkian moved from Iran to study physics at the University of Victoria in 2005, then enrolled in the aircraft maintenance engineer program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology and became a flight data analyst. The same profile names Bajehkian as president of Green Cedar Consulting and says Bajehkian helped NDP leader John Horgan build relationships with Farsi speaking communities starting in 2014. A news notice dated November 16, 2017 lists Bajehkian among eight people appointed to British Columbia's Multicultural Advisory Council, a body that advises the minister responsible for multiculturalism. The Vancouver Liberals candidate page says Bajehkian has worked at Vancouver International Airport as a ramp agent, in aircraft maintenance and as a flight data analyst monitoring helicopter operations for safety. The Vancouver Liberals candidate page says Bajehkian worked on the Anti-Racism Data Act and the Police Act review through the Multicultural Advisory Council, and on that council's change into the Provincial Council on Anti-Racism. The Vancouver Liberals were founded in 2025 and describe themselves as a progressive, inclusive and solutions oriented party. Kareem Allam is the party's candidate for mayor. voche.me assembled this profile from the official candidate list and the campaign material linked under Sources.

The Georgia Straight profile of March 2022 says Bajehkian was seeking a Coalition of Progressive Electors nomination for Park Board that year. The Wikipedia results table for the 2022 Vancouver municipal election does not list the name among Park Board candidates, so the nomination appears not to have been won, but no source confirming the outcome was found and the record is left open. LinkedIn and X both refuse automated requests, so no profile page was read. The City of Vancouver website refuses automated requests, so no official candidate filing was checked. No reporting on Bajehkian from 2023 to 2026 was found, and no interview, speech or public forum appearance from the 2026 campaign was found. The dates of the airport roles and of the Green Cedar Consulting role are not stated in any source opened. The Vancouver Liberals' $1.35 billion parks plan is named only on the candidate page, with no supporting party document opened.
