With the initial 105 polls reporting, city councillor Brad Bradford held a strong lead with 51.1% over incumbent mayor Olivia Chow at 43.9%.
In a distant third, perhaps because of some confused voters, was Braeden Chow with 721 votes.
Torontonians were left in suspense for more than an hour as the election’s results were unusually slow to roll in. While polls were supposed to close at 8 p.m., city hall posted on social media at nearly 9 p.m. to say that voters were still waiting in line at some polling stations.
More to come.
