The Burnaby Citizens Association finally had its monopoly on city council broken Saturday night – but not by much.

The BCA elected seven members of its slate – the seven incumbents.

But according to the City of Burnaby website, with all polls reporting, the Burnaby Green Party’s Joe Keithley - the lead singer of punk bank D.O.A. - looks to have captured the eighth and final spot by a narrow margin – 15,745 votes to 15,530 votes for BCA candidate Baljinder K. Narang.

The BCA has had a stranglehold on council for multiple terms and had the biggest warchest of money to spend on the campaign so it wasn’t really a surprise that parties like the Burnaby First Coalition and the Burnaby Green Party couldn’t break through.

The big question is if Keithley and new mayor Mike Hurley can get anything passed while the BCA still has a majority on council.

Dan Johnston, BCA – 19,930
