There were 281,073 eligible voters in London's municipal election, with approximately 71,666 ballots cast, meaning voter turnout was just 25.50 per cent.

The votes have been counted and the results are in: London has a new mayor, eight new faces on city council, and a (partially) new set of school board trustees.

Londoners elected Josh Morgan, former deputy mayor and Ward 7 Councillor as their 65th mayor. Morgan beat out Khalil Ramal with 46,283 votes, while Ramal had 15,912.

Morgan’s win was not particularly surprising, having been endorsed by former mayor Ed Holder, MPPs from all three parties, and the London and District Labour Council, just to name a few. The race for mayor was tightly locked between Morgan and Ramal, with third-place runner-up Sandie Thomas coming in with just 2,297 votes.


The race for city council, meanwhile, saw three incumbents unseated by newcomers in a number of close races. David Ferriera defeated incumbent John Fyfe-Millar in Ward 13, with a margin of just 34 votes. In Ward 1, controversial councillor Michael Van Holst was unseated by Hadleigh McAlister, and in Ward 6, Western University professor Sam Trosow beat out incumbent Miriam Hamou by nearly 300 votes.

Another new face to win a seat was Skylar Franke in Ward 11. The environmental activist and co-founder of the Coves Community Association won decisively over her closest opponent, Jeremy McCall with 3,616 votes to McCall’s 1,731.

The incumbent councillors who held on to their seats include Shawn Lewis in Ward 2, Steve Lehman in Ward 8, Anna Hopkins in Ward 9, Paul Van Meerbergen in Ward 10, Elizabeth Peloza in Ward 12, and Steven Hillier in Ward 14.

There were 281,073 eligible voters in London’s municipal election, with approximately 71,666 ballots cast, meaning voter turnout was just 25.50 per cent.
