Prior to the decision, Scarborough Centre candidate Thenusha Parani and Ottawa West-Nepean candidate Karma Macgregor issued a joint statement condemning the actions. Officials with the Tories’ provincial nominations committee on Friday night moved to toss out the results of dubious candidate elections in Scarborough Centre and Ottawa West-Nepean. The Progressive Conservatives are overturning controversial candidate nomination elections in Scarborough and Ottawa, as the party scrambles to fix problems from the Patrick Brown era. They also chose to leave in place the result in Newmarket-Aurora, where 14 Tory riding officials quit after voting problems there last April. “There are significant problems and questions with respect to what’s taking place in the Ontario PC Party,” said Del Duca.
