Rob Ford's Nephew To Run For Council Seat Vacated After Former Mayor's Death

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 May, 2016 12:12 PM
    TORONTO — Former Toronto mayor Rob Ford's nephew says he will run for the city council seat vacated by his uncle.
     
    Michael Ford says he has resigned as trustee with the Toronto District School Board to seek election as a councillor for Ward 2.
     
    Rob Ford died in late March at age 46, 18 months after a cancer diagnosis scuttled his bid for a second term as mayor, although he easily won election as a councillor in his west-end ward.
     
     
    Now, Michael Ford will seek the same seat in the family's stronghold of north Etobicoke.
     
    Like his uncle before him, Michael Ford says he will fight to ensure tax dollars are spent properly.
     
    Toronto city council decided Wednesday to hold a byelection on July 25 to replace Rob Ford.
