Liberal Leader Iain Rankin said he found out one of his party's candidates was stepping down on the same day the election was called. At a campaign stop on Sunday, Rankin said he found out that Robyn Ingraham was dropping out of the race for Dartmouth South from her social media post on Saturday. "Shortly after, she decided she was going to withdraw," Rankin said. On Friday evening, Ingraham announced her candidacy on Facebook, where she said she was "beyond excited" to be joining the Liberals. Robyn Ingraham stepped down as the Liberal candidate for Dartmouth South on Saturday, less than 24 hours after her candidacy was announced.
