Anderson has 7,734 votes after 26-of-31 ballot boxes were counted in Saturday's provincial election.
Kelly Vandenberghe of the B.C. Conservatives finished second with 6,114 votes, followed by B.C. Green candidate Nicole Charlwood who had 3,640 votes. Independent candidate Corinne Mori finished last with 1,964 votes.
