It took three tied votes and a random draw to select the new chair for the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) Board.

Kelowna Councillor Loyal Wooldridge was chosen as chair, returning to the role he stepped away from earlier this year to run in the provincial election for the BC NDP. According to RDCO governance rules, a random draw is used to break a tie after three rounds of voting.
