NDP acclaim Coquitlam councillor to run against MP Shin — again

Coquitlam Coun. Bonita Zarrillo will take another run for the federal seat in Port Moody-Coquitlam.

Coquitlam Coun. Bonita Zarrillo will take another run for the federal seat in Port Moody-Coquitlam.

Last month, Zarrillo was officially declared as the NDP candidate for the riding that's currently held by Conservative MP Nelly Shin. 

Zarrillo lost to Shin in 2019 by 153 votes.

The city councillor accepted the nomination at a virtual meeting that was also attended by Coquitlam-Burke Mountain NDP MLA Fin Donnelly, the former NDP MP for Port Moody-Coquitlam, and federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.

A federal election has yet to be called.
