Former Liberal MP and MPP Han Dong says he is running for Toronto city council in the Scarborough North ward in the municipal election this fall. In a social media post announcing his candidacy, Dong says he declared his intention to run for the seat representing Scarborough North. Dong previously served in provincial and federal roles as a Liberal. He represented the Ontario Liberals as a member of the provincial parliament (MPP) for Trinity–Spadina from 2014 to 2018. Prior to his provincial service, he also worked as a member of Parliament (MP) at the federal level. Sources agree that Dong’s announcement comes as he moves from past provincial and federal political positions to a municipal campaign in Toronto. The municipal election schedule and the final list of candidates are not detailed in the provided excerpts, but the sources consistently report that his declaration is tied to this fall’s vote and that his target ward is Scarborough North.
