Vancouver Liberals Special Announcement
Kareem Allam Wants to be Vancouver’s Next Mayor

A Promise to Vancouver
Vancouver has a problem. Our population is aging, and young people are being pushed out of the city by high living costs and a lack of meaningful work opportunities. Every day, we slide further into becoming a playground for the wealthy. Meanwhile, the Mayor focused on vanity projects, dismantling our elected Park Board, chasing bitcoin billionaires, and suing his political critics.
It’s time for City Hall to get serious. Vancouver needs a Mayor who respects the real priorities of the people they serve. Our promise to the citizens of Vancouver is simple:
If it doesn’t help working families, if it doesn’t help seniors, if it doesn’t help students and young people entering the work force – we’re not going to do it. Period.

Meet Kareem Allam
The Vancouver Liberals are pleased to introduce Kareem Allam, who has announced his intention to seek our nomination for Mayor of Vancouver in the 2026 civic election.
Kareem and his wife, Heidi, along with their dog Oliver, have lived in Yaletown for 20 years.
“I want to run for mayor because I think I can do a better job [than the current Mayor],” Kareem Allam recently told Business in Vancouver. “I love this city and I’m not happy with its direction.”
