Geography

Member of Legislative Assembly

On account of the realignment of electoral boundaries, most incumbents did not represent the entirety of their listed district during the preceding legislative term. Claude Richmond, British Columbia Liberal Party was initially elected during the 2005 election to the Kamloops riding and didn't seek re-election. Kevin Krueger, BC Liberal sought re-election in the adjacent redrawn riding of Kamloops-South Thompson during the 2009 election rather than in the riding of Kamloops-North Thompson.
