Yasir Naqvi has joined the race to become the next leader of Ontario’s Liberal party.
Beaches-East York MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith and Kingston and the Islands MPP Ted Hsu have already entered the race. Mississauga, Ont., mayor Bonnie Crombie and Toronto-area MPP Adil Shamji are also exploring leadership bids.
Party members will cast their votes by ranked ballot on Nov. 25 and Nov. 26, with the Liberals set to announce round-by-round results the following weekend. A new leader will be announced on Dec. 2. Whoever is selected will replace Steven Del Duca, who resigned as the party’s leader when the Liberals failed to win enough seats to secure official party status in last year's election. It was the second campaign in a row in which the once dominant Liberals failed to reach that threshold.Naqvi will officially launch his campaign late Saturday morning at a pancake breakfast at St. Anthony’s Banquet Hall in Ottawa, where he has begun every campaign since his first bid for office in 2007.
He was expected to round out his day with an afternoon visit to Reid’s Dairy in Belleville for ice cream and an evening rally with supporters at the Capitol Banquet Center in Mississauga.
