A federal byelection has been called in Durham, Ont. to fill the seat left vacant by former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole’s retirement from politics.
Election night for the Durham byelection will be March 4.
Conservatives have nominated commentator and author Jamil Jivani to try to retain the seat. The governing Liberals have put forward local councillor Robert Rock, while the NDP have nominated labour executive Chris Borgia.
Conservatives have held Durham for the past two decades, though some elections have seen their grip on the riding tested. Former cabinet minister Bev Oda represented Durham from 2004 to 2012, before O’Toole won a byelection
