Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath highlights opposition’s priorities

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is vowing her party will hold Doug Ford to account for every decision he makes as premier.

Horwath, speaking Friday morning after her party became the official opposition, said she’s “incredibly proud” of the NDP’s campaign.

“Last night was a new beginning for the NDP,” she said.

“I will keep fighting for change for the better. That work starts today.”

Horwath was flanked by 11 of her winning candidates, and noted her party managed to elect more women than ever before. About half of the NDP caucus is made up of women, Horwath said.
