The New Democrats had hoped to keep it orange after Ian Arthur decided not to run again. Former PC leader John Tory learned the perils of not having a seat after losing in Don Valley West to Liberal MPP Kathleen Wynne in 2007. “It will, however, be a movement that will be led by a new leader. The Liberals were reduced to just seven seats in the 2018 election, losing party status, and they fell short of the 12 required to regain it, elected or leading in eight ridings late Thursday night. Polling in the days leading up to the election had predicted a tough fight for Del Duca in his own riding as he attempted to regain Vaughan-Woodbridge from Progressive Conservative Michael Tibollo, who won with more than half of all votes cast in the last election and a decisive victory on Thursday night. Steven Del Duca lost in Vaughan-Woodbridge for a second time in a row, and stepped down as leader of the Ontario Liberals after they again failed to win enough seats to regain party status.

The Ontario Liberal Party remained in third place in legislature, failing to gain official status and leading in just eight seats.

The Liberals were unable to find a replacement in Parry Sound-Muskoka and also didn’t run a candidate in Timmins. (The party has never won those seats.) Want to hear more about the Ontario election from our journalists? The allegations haven’t been proven and were denied by the party. I thought because of the strength of the Liberal brand that they would be a lot more competitive,” Mr. Wiseman said. As of 11 p.m. local time, the Liberals were leading in eight ridings, but needed 12 to regain official status. The atmosphere was sombre at party headquarters in Vaughan as about 40 people watched the results. “This time, I thought the opposition support would marshal behind the Liberals.” The party removed three candidates in three days just before the nomination deadline for inappropriate comments they wrote in the past. Polls leading up to election day forecast a healthy lead for the Progressive Conservatives and a battle for second between the Liberals and NDP. During the late stages of the campaign, Mr. Del Duca touted the Liberals as the best choice to defeat the PCs. He spent Wednesday, the final day on the campaign trail, in two NDP-held ridings in Toronto. After governing the province for 15 years, the Ontario Liberals were reduced to seven seats in the 2018 election and lost official party status with less than 20 per cent of the popular vote. Facing his first election as party leader after being selected in March, 2020, Mr. Del Duca had in recent days said he had no plans to step down as leader no matter the result in his riding or in the broader race. The Progressive Conservative Party won a second consecutive majority government and the NDP was set to serve as the Official Opposition, with the Liberals remaining the third party in the legislature.

The almost immediate call for the PCs was a Serge Ibaka-like block of what was supposed to be a resounding comeback for the humiliated Ontario Liberal Party. It ...

La deuxième victoire majoritaire consécutive du Parti progressiste-conservateur aura finalement eu raison de deux chefs des partis d'opposition.

Quelques instants après que Mme Horwath eut annoncé son départ au NPD, le chef du Parti libéral Steven Del Duca l’a imité, deux ans seulement après avoir accédé à la tête de son parti. Le NPD demeurera toutefois l’opposition officielle à Queen’s Park. «Ce soir, il est temps de passer le flambeau, le témoin et de laisser la direction du NPD. Vous savez, ça m’attriste, mais ça me réjouit en même temps parce que notre équipe est forte présentement», a-t-elle dit dans un discours rempli d’émotions.
