At least two Ontario NDP riding associations are calling for the review and resignation of leader Marit Stiles after MPP Sarah Jama was removed from caucus earlier this week.
The association in Kitchener Centre issued a statement late Thursday morning that alleges Stiles is “out of touch with the one million Muslims in Ontario.”
Jama was both censured by the Progressive Conservative government and ejected from the Ontario New Democratic Party on Monday. “This betrayal by leader Marit Stiles and the senior staff at the ONDP has destroyed the hopes of many activists, organizers, and community members whose efforts secured every single poll for MPP Sarah Jama in the recent by-election,” they said.
Speaking to reporters at Queen’s Park, Stiles said that no members of her caucus have called for her resignation and that she is having conversations with all those who have expressed concerns.
