“The Right Thing to Do”: Ontario Liberals Prepare for Third Leadership Contest Since 2018
Bonnie Crombie resigns after securing only 57% support in party vote; Ontario Liberals prepare for a leadership race with expected high candidate interest.
- Bonnie Crombie announced on September 14, 2025, in Toronto that she will step down as Ontario Liberal Party leader after receiving 57 percent support in a leadership review vote.
- Crombie decided to resign following a weak mandate despite initially vowing to stay on, as internal divisions and systemic issues have challenged the party since its 2018 defeat.
- The Ontario Liberal Party holds official status with increased legislative seats, claims 30 percent of the popular vote, and plans to organize its third leadership race since 2018 with undetermined rules.
- Senior party officials expect a wide field of candidates as interest rises, with McGarry stating this is a chance for a "real robust search" to include both known and unexpected contenders.
- The leadership change signals a difficult rebuilding phase with potential internal frictions that may affect the party's competitiveness going into the 2029 provincial election.
