In the recent Ontario provincial election held on June 2, 2025, the Progressive Conservative Party, led by incumbent Premier Doug Ford, has successfully secured a majority, continuing their decade-long hold on power. The election’s results show that Ford’s party won 65 seats in the 124-seat legislature, while the opposition parties, including the New Democratic Party (NDP) and the Liberal Party, fell short, winning only 29 and 21 seats respectively. Ford, upon his victory, stated, “Thank you, Ontarians! The trust you have put in our government means the world to me. We are ready to get back to work for you and all of Ontario.” One of the key issues during the campaign was the ongoing healthcare crisis in the province, which has drawn significant criticism towards Ford’s government. The NDP leader, Marit Stiles, highlighted the flaws in the Ford government’s handling of healthcare issues, stating, “This election was a referendum on the state of healthcare in Ontario, and we heard loud and clear from voters that they want change.” Additionally, Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie emphasized that the election results reflect a need for a new direction in Ontario politics. Voter turnout for the election was reported at 58%, a slight decrease from the previous election cycle.
