The New Democratic Party's leadership is under scrutiny after the Hamilton Centre riding association criticized the nomination process, calling it "improper" due to the exclusion of Sarah Jama. The riding association expressed their distress and suggested a potential leadership review of Marit Stiles. Jamaica was expelled from the caucus amid controversies over her comments on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Despite being a prominent activist and previously securing a significant electoral win, her exclusion sparked outrage among local party members, who feel overshadowed by party leadership decisions.
The NDP's decision to bar Independent member of provincial parliament Sarah Jama from running made the riding association "incredibly upset," with calls for a leadership review.
Riding association president David Mivasair stated, "I think there could be a leadership review. I think that would be very justified."
Ontario NDP director Kevin Beaulieu reiterated that the nomination process was confidential and maintained that it was applied evenly to all contestants.
Party leadership has disregarded the riding association and longtime NDP members who support Jama, reflecting tension within the party regarding the nomination process.
