John Tory secured a third term as Mayor of Toronto during Monday’s municipal election after earning 61.8% of the vote with 1379 of 1535 polls reporting.
The results came as no surprise, with Tory having long been favoured to win the race. With eight years in office under his belt and another four secured, the win puts Tory is a position to be Toronto’s longest-serving Mayor. The current record, held by Art Eggleton, is 11 years. Of the 31 candidates vying to become the next mayor of Toronto, just two received more than 2% of the vote. Tory’s closest challenger, Gil Penalosa, earned 95,081 votes , followed by Chloe-Marie Brown with 33,336 votes
“John Tory has the opportunity in the next four years to make it good for everyone,” Penalosa said as he addressed the crowd at his election night event. “Too many people are leaving Toronto because they cannot afford to live here. Teachers, nurses, artists, everybody’s living Toronto. We need to be able to retain our people. We need to be able to attract people.”
Throughout the campaign, the challengers lambasted Tory’s record, particularly when it came to housing. Penalosa, whose platform hinged on the idea of starting a “,” critiqued Tory’s inability to legalize rooming houses and get more new homes built. Brown, during the October 17 mayoral debate, similarly called Tory out for inaction, saying that his housing plan was “collecting dust.
