Political career
Colin Basran was first elected to Kelowna City Council as a city councilor in the 2011 municipal election. Basran was elected Mayor in the 2014 British Columbia Municipal Election, making Basran the youngest elected mayor of Kelowna.
Basran served for two terms, until he was defeated in the 2022 municipal election by Tom Dyas, who won 62.17% of the vote, over Basran’s 31.87%.
During Basran’s time in office, Kelowna’s crime rate grew to become the highest of all Canadian metropolitan areas, and its homelessness population triple.
In 2019, Kelowna’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police was found to dismiss 40 percent of sexual assault claims (triple the provincial and national average) after a woman reported that she was raped by three people at age 15.
When she reported it to the Kelowna RCMP, she said her file was closed after a cursory investigation, which consisted of the police “simply calling her assailant and asking if he was guilty” In response to the statistic, Basran defended the RCMP, saying that the assaults were properly investigated.
The year before he won re-election as Kelowna’s mayor for a second term, Basran collected over $30,000 in political donations but did not report it to Elections BC until the shortfall was reported by a campaign donor. Largely, the previously unreported donations came from development firms. When asked where the funds went, Basran refused to say how the funds were spent.
Colin Basran raised conflict of interest concerns when it was reported that he rented a multimillion-dollar waterfront home directly from one of B.C.’s biggest real estate developers, despite earning a salary as Mayor of Kelowna of $113,690 per year.
During Basran’s kickoff event to his failed 2022 campaign run, Basran was witnessed verbally assaulting political rival Ron Cannan by swearing at Cannan and kicking him out of the event.
On December 7, 2022, the British Columbia Prosecution Service (BCPS) announced that Basran was charged with sexual assault in connection with an incident to have occurred in May of 2022, while he was still Mayor of Kelowna.
The police investigation was conducted by the Kelowna RCMP and reviewed by the Nelson Police Department. Colin Basran is set to make his first appearance related to the charge in Kelowna provincial court on Jan. 24, 2023.
