Independent candidate Andrew Younger has withdrawn from the provincial election race in Dartmouth East. In an interview with CBC News, Younger — a former Liberal cabinet minister — cited health and privacy reasons for the decision. Andrew Younger said he accepts what comes with being a public figure, but he wasn't willing for it to spread over to his family, including wife Katia, anymore. Younger acknowledged there have been "a few bizarre things" in his political career. "I guess maybe it's fitting that it goes out in a bizarre way."
