The Ontario Progressive Conservatives have won a second consecutive majority government, with the party leading or elected in 83 ridings as of late Thursday.
“Tonight’s victory, it isn’t about me, it isn’t about the party. This victory belongs to every worker who knows they deserve better. It belongs to every family who knows that they can dream bigger. But most of all, this victory belongs to each and every one of you,” Premier Doug Ford said as he took the stage.
The NDPs are projected to form the official opposition once again as they are expected to win the second-most number of seats, but it wasn’t enough for party leader Andrea Horwath who announced she would be stepping down as leader after failing to form government in her fourth election cycle heading the party.
It was another poor showing for the Liberals as party leader Steven Del Duca failed to win in the riding of Vaughan-Woodbridge, also announcing his resignation as party leader.
At least 63 seats are required to form a majority government. In the 2018 election, the PCs won 76 ridings.
