In a significant political upset, veteran politician Carolyn Parrish has been elected as the next mayor of Mississauga. In a byelection held on Monday night, Parrish emerged victorious by a substantial margin, garnering over 8500 votes more than her closest competitor.
Parrish, a former Mississauga councillor and Member of Parliament (MP), ran a grassroots campaign that resonated with voters. She campaigned on a platform of fiscal responsibility, increased transparency, and improved community engagement.
The byelection was held to fill the vacant mayoral position left by Bonnie Crombie, who resigned earlier this year to run for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party. Crombie served as mayor of Mississauga for eight years and was widely respected for her leadership and commitment to the city.
