"After getting just over two-thirds support in Saturday's leadership vote, Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles says she understands the party needs to change if it's going to win the next election. Stiles received 68 per cent of the votes at the party's annual convention in Niagara Falls, Ont., held just one week after Bonnie Crombie stepped down as leader of the Ontario Liberals after getting only 57 per cent of her party's vote in a similar review."
""We need to make change in this party if we're going to defeat Doug Ford in the next election, and we will do that," she said, moments before delegates began chanting her name. Stiles told party members earlier in the day that she would focus on issues that matter most to Ontarians, like addressing the rising cost of living, increasing access to health care and funding the province's schools."
Marit Stiles won 68 per cent support in a leadership review at the Ontario NDP convention and vowed to change the party to defeat Doug Ford in the next election. Stiles committed to prioritizing issues such as the rising cost of living, improved access to health care and increased funding for schools. Delegates chanted her name after the result, but some viewed the outcome as disappointing. The NDP remained the official opposition despite earning only 18 per cent of the popular vote, and internal concerns about electoral performance influenced delegate sentiment.
