The battle between the two Kens - Kennedy Stewart and Ken Sim - was too close to call the night of October 20th.

At 12:39AM on October 21st, the final of 133 voting stations reported in, resulting in these numbers of votes for the two front-running candidates:

Kennedy Stewart: 49,812

Ken Sim: 48,828

Congratulations to Kennedy Stewart, the (more likely than not) new mayor of Vancouver!

There may still be a recount as the gap between the kens was small, but for now we can say that Kennedy is the winner.
