BREAKING: Liberals hold Scarborough-Guildwood riding in Ontario provincial byelection
Liberal candidate Andrea Hazell has won the riding of Scarborough-Guildwood, which former cabinet minister Mitzie Hunter held for 10 years until she resigned in May to run in the mayoral byelection.
The byelection in the Ottawa-area riding of Kanata-Carleton has been much closer, with the Liberal, Progressive Conservative and NDP candidates all within a few hundred votes of each other for much of the evening. Kanata-Carleton has been without a representative since Merrilee Fullerton abruptly resigned her post as minister of children, community and social services and her seat in March.
That's compared to a turnout of nine per cent of registered voters in Kanata-Carleton during advance polls in the general provincial election last year and 8.8 per cent in Scarborough-Guildwood.
