Ten weeks after MP Karen Vecchio announced she will not seek re-election in the next federal vote, we finally have some clarity on moving forward in Elgin-St. Thomas-London South riding.
myFM spoke with Brad Clift, vice-president of the Conservative Party of Canada riding association on key upcoming dates, including the membership due date at 5 p.m. today (Friday).
Clift indicated at least three individuals, including former broadcaster Andrew Lawton of London have submitted nomination papers.
Clift added candidates do not have to reside in the riding.
He continued, “I do know that people seem to think that the nominations are already closed and that Andrew (Lawton) is the candidate. And that isn’t the case. There is still a nomination going on and in order for Andrew to be the candidate, there will have to be a vote.
Membership and candidate information can be found on the Conservative Party of Canada riding association website at http://www.eslscpc.ca
