In Ontario, Eglinton-Lawrence NDP candidate Natasha Doyle-Merrick has withdrawn from the race, endorsing the Liberal Party in an effort to obstruct the Progressive Conservatives' continued dominance. The riding has been held by the Tories since 2018, though the Liberals previously claimed victory for two decades before that. With the upcoming election, the Liberals also faced candidate withdrawal in Windsor West, as they aim to maintain a strong candidate presence amid tough competition from both NDP and Progressive Conservative parties.
Natasha Doyle-Merrick stated that Eglinton-Lawrence is a 'clear two-party contest' and stepped aside to help prevent another Progressive Conservative victory.
The Liberal party, previously holding the Eglinton-Lawrence riding since 1999, faced a setback with its candidate withdrawal in Windsor West, heightening competition.
