Update: Little has changed for Hamilton’s representation in Queen’s Park after today’s election. Three of the city’s four seats kept their NDP incumbents of Leader Andrea Horwath (Hamilton Centre) in a landslide win, finance critic Sandy Shaw (Hamilton West) and backbencher Monique Taylor (Hamilton Mountain).

Meanwhile Hamilton East turned blue, putting PC Neil Lumsden Queen’s Park chair. Incumbent Paul Miller was an NDP member, but was ousted from the party amid allegations of bullying staff, racist and homophobic behavior and membership in an Islamophobic Facebook group. Miller rejects these claims and has sued the NDP and Horwath.

Miller ran again, this time as an independent, but was soundly trounced coming in fourth place with six per cent of the vote. Winner Lumsden dominated the race with more than a third of all votes.

Original story follows:

Hamilton’s representation in Queen’s Park is expected to look a little different tomorrow. The city’s four seats, including NDP Leader Andrea Horwath’s, are hotly contested by more than six major parties.

In addition to the long running stalwarts of Green, Liberals, NDP and Progressive Conservatives, two newer far-right parties have joined the fray, the Ontario Party and the New Blue Party.

Polling in the Hammer indicates a close race in Hamilton West – Ancaster – Dundas and in Hamilton East – Stoney Creek. Polling aggregate 338Canada listed both as toss-ups.

Meanwhile the NDP are expected to hold Hamilton Mountain and Horwath’s Hamilton Centre. However with a seeming blue wave imminent it remains to be seen if she’ll keep her seat at the head of the NDP table.
