NEPEAN - Former spokesperson for Mayor Larry O’Brien, Mike Patton,
announced his intent to seek Conservative Party nomination for the Ottawa
West-Nepean riding Jan. 25.
Patton is the first member of the Conservative party to seek
nomination.
The last election for the Ottawa West-Nepean riding was in
2007 when Patton lost to current MPP Jim Watson.
Liberal Bob Chiarelli also seeks nomination and Green Party
member Mark MacKenzie has already been nominated to represent his party.
While Watson has announced his intention to run for mayor of
Ottawa, he has
yet to officially step down from his current position.
The day of the byelection hasn’t been set.
