Liberals win byelection in Beaches-East York, keeping seat vacated by Erskine-Smith
- On Monday, Liberal Tanveer Shahnawaz won the federal byelection in the Toronto-area riding of Beaches-East York, maintaining the party's hold on the seat.
- Nate Erskine-Smith resigned last month, triggering the byelection after a failed attempt to win a seat in Ontario's provincial parliament.
- Shahnawaz, a 30-year-old former office manager for Erskine-Smith, defeated NDP candidate Shannon Devine and Conservative Jim Syrbos after a nine-day nomination contest in July.
- Historically, the riding has favored Liberals, who won 11 of the last 12 elections, with the NDP's only victory occurring during the 2011 "Orange Wave" under Jack Layton.
- This vote was one of three federal byelections held across Canada on Monday, as Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals work to maintain their majority status of 173 seats in the House of Commons.
