One riding. Five candidates.
That’s what Chatham-Kent voters face for the coming federal election.
The entire municipality is within one riding – Chatham-Kent–Leamington – as electoral boundaries have changed.
Monday was the deadline to file with Elections Canada for candidates. When the dust cleared, there were five names on the list, all of the male.
- Dave Epp, incumbent Conservative candidate was the first to file
- Trevor Lee, People’s Party of Canada
- Seamus Fleming, NDP
- Keith Pickard, Liberal
- James Plunkett, Green Party
The election takes place April 28. Advanced polls are being held over the Easter weekend.
