Ontario Liberal Party President Yasir Naqvi

Premier Dalton McGuinty Dept: Premier Dalton McGuinty s successor will be elected at a delegated convention in a city yet be determined, because the Liberals are still checking the availability of large venues, according to The Star. Ontario Liberal Party president Yasir Naqvi said Sunday that leadership hopefuls will have to pay $50,000 to enter the contest and can spend $500,000 in their pursuit of the province s top job and some 2,500 Liberal delegates will choose the next premier of Ontario on the weekend of Jan. 25. The new premier is expected to call back the legislature, which McGuinty controversially prorogued as part of his surprise resignation last Monday, on Feb. 18 with a throne speech.
