There are less than two weeks to go in the Ontario NDP leadership race and Marit Stiles, the sole official candidate, is so far the presumptive winner.
A few other caucus members - Sol Mamakwa, Chris Glover and Wayne Gates - said Tuesday they are considering a bid. But jumping quickly into the race is a tall order with the Dec. 5 deadline quickly approaching.
Contenders must also pay a $55,000 fee by the deadline and can't start fundraising until they are a registered candidate. “But my team and I, we've been just very focused on ... moving forward on our plan, which is to build the NDP, sign up as many members as we can, and start organizing to defeat Ford in 2026.”
Since beginning her campaign in September, Stiles said she has been travelling around the province and is focused on people who didn't vote in the last election, which saw turnout of about 43 per cent.
