| Description | The people have spoken and Vancouver has a new mayor. Vision Vancouver candidate Gregor Robertson has won the civic election that decides who will lead the city into the 2010 Olympic Games.
Robertson won a total of 67,598 votes to beat out Non-Partisan Association candidate Peter Ladner, who received 48,794.
A total of 15 candidates were vying for top spot, but the race was centered on Robertson and Ladner, a two-term city councillor.
Speaking from the Hotel Vancouver, a jubilant Robertson thanked everyone who voted for the Vision slate.
"I am so proud to be speaking to you as Vancouver's new mayor," he says. "We will work hard on your behalf and live up to the great expectations and honour you've given me. This is even better than watching the Canucks thrash the Maple Leafs."
