John van Dongen's defeat by a Liberal newcomer was one of many surprises on election night.

Now that was an election night to remember, regardless of what side of the political fence you sit on!

Forecast to fail, the Liberals  formed another majority government, while the NDP blew a huge early lead.

Long-serving incumbent John van Dongen is out in Abbotsford South, replaced by Liberal newcomer Darryl Plecas.

Abbotsford West incumbent Liberal Mike de Jong had an easy walk back to his seat over his NDP challenger.

And in Abbotsford-Mission, Abby councillor Simon Gibson dominated his NDP competitor Preet Rai.

The Conservative vote-splitting never materialized.

So, what happened? What are your feelings on the election, and the years ahead?
