A York-Simcoe provincial election candidate has left the race.
The Trillium Party’s David Loft announced this week he is withdrawing his candidacy because his wife, Betty, has been diagnosed with cancer.
“We are meeting with the surgeons in the next two weeks to determine our path forward. As we take that path she will not have to look far to take my hand,” he wrote in a statement to voters.
Loft thanked his supporters and the other candidates, who, he said, “you can be assured … are here for the right reasons.”
There are still six candidates left in the race:
Liberal Loralea Carruthers
PC Caroline Mulroney
NDP Dave Szollosy
Green Alexandra Zalucky
Libertarian Silviu Druma
Ontario Moderate Franco Colavecchia
