Carolyn Parrish, a former councillor and MP, has won the mayoral race in Mississauga.
With 98 per cent of polls reporting, Parrish seems to have a significant lead of over 8,000 votes ahead of her closest competitor, first-term councillor Alvin Tedjo.
“I just messaged our former councillor Carolyn Parish to congratulate her on her victory tonight,” Tedjo informed his campaign in a concession speech shortly after 9 p.m. “I extend my best wishes to her as she takes on the important responsibility of being the Mayor of Mississauga.”
