New Westminster mayor Wayne Wright and all but one of the incumbent city council candidates have been re-elected.

Wright won every poll in the city to claim his third term in office.

Longtime city counillor Calvin Donnelly was the only loser, falling about 160 votes behind well-known community organizer Jaimie McEvoy.

The school board will have at least two new faces, with the election of former city councillor Casey Cook and newcomer Jim Goring, both of whom were running on the Voice New Westminster slate.

And more than 90 minutes after the polls closed, not a single number has been posted to the city’s official election night results website.
