Kathleen Wynne has won the riding of Don Valley West over a strong opponent, Jon Kieran, as the PC Party forged to electoral victory in a landmark election. In tearful remarks Thursday night, Wynne resigned as Liberal leader. The Progressive Conservatives will have a majority that comes close to doubling opposition strength in the Legislature. The Liberal Party, in losing power after 15 years, has been reduced to seven seats, too few for recognized party status. The NDP proved a strong force in Midtown Toronto and across the City south of Eglinton Ave. It won both Toronto St. Paul’s and the new socially diverse riding of University Rosedale. The Liberals came second in both. UR in particular seemed like a replay of voting patterns in the old Toronto Centre.. The NDP won Toronto Centre, Toronto Danforth, Don Valley East and Davenport. The PCs won Don Valley North.
