Analysis: Horwath will depart provincial politics as the second most successful leader in the history of Ontario’s New Democrats — only former premier Bob Rae, who governed from 1990 to 1995, performed better with voters.
Andrea Horwath’s decision to seek the Hamilton mayoralty marks the end of an era at Queen’s Park.
“As I said the day after the election, let there be no doubt that Andrea wakes up every day ready to fight for what she believes in,” Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday of his fierce rival. She single-handedly returned the NDP to official party status in the legislature, becoming its eighth MPP, when she was elected in a 2004 byelection in the former riding of Hamilton East.She led the party to 40 seats in the 2018 Ontario election, its best showing in a generation, ending up as leader of the Official Opposition.
