Its City Council slate of 6 is large enough to take a majority if every one of those candidates won. Its mayoral candidate is Muhammad Ahmad, at ballot number 53. The mayor chairs Council and holds one vote of eleven, so a mayor without councillors alongside them cannot pass anything alone. 1 OF 1 SEAT CONTESTED ## Mayor [53**Muhammad Ahmad**Ballot 53 · Communications professional and community advocate](https://voche.me/candidates/muhammad-ahmad) 6 OF 10 SEATS CONTESTED ## City Council [116**Yadwinder Mangat**Ballot 116](https://voche.me/candidates/yadwinder-mangat) [120**Judith Kasiama**Ballot 120](https://voche.me/candidates/judith-kasiama) [122**Bilal Khan**Ballot 122](https://voche.me/candidates/bilal-khan) [140**Andy Lin**Ballot 140](https://voche.me/candidates/andy-lin) [148**Ibrahima Cisse**Ballot 148](https://voche.me/candidates/ibrahima-cisse) [152**Mohadeseh Gharib P.

A blank here records that, and nothing more. ### How a candidate is linked to a party Only the official City of Vancouver candidate list decides which party a candidate belongs to on this site. A party's own list of candidates is not enough on its own, and a candidate running with no party is never attached to one. ## Sources A source marked SAYS SO ITSELF is the party's own material. It proves what the party claims, not that the claim is true. 1.
