Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith to Appeal Nomination Loss
Ahsanul Hafiz, a businessman who owns 30 Domino’s Pizza stores, won the Liberal nomination as Nate Erskine-Smith weighs an appeal.
- On Saturday, Ontario Liberal members in Scarborough Southwest chose Ahsanul Hafiz as their candidate, defeating Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith by 19 votes in a closely contested nomination race.
- Seeking to bolster his intended bid for Ontario Liberal Party leadership, Erskine-Smith contested the nomination against Hafiz, a Domino's Pizza store owner aiming to flip the riding red after placing third in recent provincial elections.
- Following his loss, Erskine-Smith suggested the party "establishment" worked against him, citing "ID issues" and concerns over more than 1,800 disqualified memberships he claims disenfranchised voters during the process.
- Interim Ontario Liberal Leader John Fraser defended the contest on Monday, stating "I know it was fair" and challenging Erskine-Smith to provide proof for his allegations regarding the vote's integrity.
- According to the party, Erskine-Smith has 72 hours until Tuesday night to appeal the results, while Premier Doug Ford must still call the by-election for the vacant Scarborough Southwest seat.
