out jogging, Sohal had a heart attack. He did not survive, and the seat became vacant. On April 20, 1995 a by-election was held to replace Sohal. The election was another closely contested race with voters returning Progressive Conservative candidate Shiraz Shariff with a plurality of just over 43% of the vote. Shariff won his second term with a large majority in 1997 and was returned to his third term with a majority in 2001. Shariff's popularity started to slide after 2001. He was nearly defeated by Liberal candidate Darshan Kang in the 2004 election when he lost nearly half of his popular vote from 2001. He won fewer votes with a lower percentage than when he was first elected in the 1995 by-election. The two faced each other in the 2008 election with the reverse result. Shariff was defeated while Kang won his first term in office. In 2015 New Democratic Party candidate Irfan Sabir was elected, beating the Wildrose Party challenger by fewer than 500 votes. He was re-elected in 2019 with 51.7% of the popular vote.
