Incumbent Kelowna mayor Sharon Shepherd has been unseated by former mayor Walter Gray.

It was a bit like deja vu for the two civic polictians.

In 2003, Shepherd challenged Gray for the mayor's chair, and won.

Saturday Gray took back the seat by a very narrow margin, winning just 420 more votes than Shepherd's 13574 .

Mayor elect Walter Gray spoke with Daybreak host Chris Walker Monday morning, and promised to be a decisive leader for council.
