Kathleen Wynne: Gerard Kennedy

Eric Hoskins Dept: The former MPP captured 599 of the 2084 valid ballets, closely followed by Kathleen Wynne with 597 votes, according to CTV. With the lowest number of votes, Hoskins automatically drops from the ballot. Candidates have 20 minutes to announce their withdrawal from the race and potentially throw their support behind another candidate and sandra Pupatello is hanging on to a razor thin lead in Ontario s Liberal leadership race following the first round of voting. In a distant third, Gerard Kennedy took 281 votes, followed by Harinder Takhar at 235, Charles Sousa at 222 and Eric Hoskins with 150 votes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
