Former Liberal MP and MPP Han Dong says he’s running for Toronto city council.
Dong says in a social media post that he declared today to run for the ward of Scarborough North in the municipal election this fall.
He represented the Ontario Liberals as a member of provincial parliament in Trinity-Spadina from 2014 to 2018 before winning back-to-back federal elections for the Liberals in Don Valley North in 2019 and 2021.
Dong resigned from the federal Liberal caucus in 2023 in response to a Global News report over his alleged communications with the Chinese Consulate.
