Kathryn McGarry, a former cabinet minister, will play a big role in crafting the party's leadership election as head of the 17-member executive
Ontario Liberal Party delegates elected a former cabinet minister on Sunday to be the new party president, putting her atop the fresh executive that will soon begin shaping its upcoming leadership contest.
McGarry didn’t have much to say about how she’d like the leadership election to be structured while speaking to reporters after her election on Sunday. “By election-ready, I don't mean by June 2026. I mean six months before the next election,” he added. “I have reasons for why I want to see it happen sooner rather than later, but I want to talk to my executive council members first,” said David Morris, one of the party’s vice presidents for Toronto. He added that he hopes the executive council comes up with a timeline soon.
About 1,500 party delegates — a mixture of MPPs, staff, volunteers and rank-and-file members — attended the Liberals’ annual general meeting, representing its best showing in decades.
