Resigning leader | Kathleen Wynne |
Ontario Liberal Party leadership elections 1919 · 1922 · 1930 · 1943 · 1947 · 1950 · 1954 · 1958 · 1964 · 1967 · 1973 · 1976 · 1982 · 1992 · 1996 · 2013 · 2020 · 2023 |
The next Ontario Liberal Party leadership election will be held following the resignation of Kathleen Wynne as leader on June 7, 2018, after over five years as leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, a major provincial political party in the province of Ontario, Canada. The date of the election has yet to be decided.
Background
In the 2018 general election, the Ontario Liberal government was defeated, losing 48 seats, leaving the party with only just 7 MPPs, and thus also losing official party status. Kathleen Wynne consequently tendered her resignation as party leader.
Rules and procedures
Under the procedure outlined by the party's constitution, the leader is likely to be chosen in a traditional delegated leadership convention in which up to 2,000+ delegates would be eligible to vote, made up of 1,984 elected delegates (16 elected by proportional representation in each of the 124 provincial riding associations) in addition to ex officio delegates (current and former Liberal MPPs, defeated candidates from the last election, riding association presidents, party executive officers and other party officials, and federal Liberal MPs for Ontario), youth delegates from campus clubs and delegates representing the Women's Commission. Riding delegates would be able to run on the slate of a leadership candidate or as independents; in the case of the former they would be required to vote for that candidate on the first ballot but would be free to change their support subsequently. Balloting at convention would continue until one candidate receives a majority of ballots cast.
Candidates
Possible contenders include the following:
- Yvan Baker, former MPP for Etobicoke Centre (2014-2018), and former Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Finance
- Michael Coteau, MPP for Don Valley East since 2011 and former Minister of Community and Social Services
- Steven Del Duca, former Minister of Economic Development and Growth and former MPP for Vaughan (2012–2018)
- Nathalie Des Rosiers, former Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry and MPP for Ottawa—Vanier since 2016, and previously general counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (2009-2013)
- Dwight Duncan, former Minister of Finance and Deputy Premier under Dalton McGuinty, former MPP for successive Windsor, Ontario ridings (1995-2013), third place leadership candidate in 1996, currently senior strategic advisor at McMillan LLP
- Eric Hoskins, leadership candidate in 2013, former Ontario Minister of Health and Long Term Care and former MPP for St. Paul's (2009–2018)
- Mitzie Hunter, MPP for Scarborough—Guildwood since 2013 and former Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development
- Marie-France Lalonde, MPP for Orléans since 2014 and former Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services
- Yasir Naqvi, former Attorney General of Ontario and former MPP for Ottawa Centre (2007–2018)
- Sandra Pupatello, leadership runner-up in 2013, former Chair of Hydro One, former MPP for Windsor West (1995–2011) and former Minister of Community and Social Services and Minister of Education under Dalton McGuinty.
- Charles Sousa, leadership candidate in 2013, former Ontario Minister of Finance and former MPP for Mississauga South (2007–2018)
- Adam Vaughan, federal Liberal MP for Spadina—Fort York since 2014, previously a Toronto City Councillor (2006-2014)
