Leaders don't just get elected out of nowhere, they're put in power by the people. Here's the riding-by-riding breakdown of how the people voted in Toronto.
- The Beaches-East York riding returned to its NDP roots after candidate Rima Berns-McGown was victorious over one-term liberal incumbent Arthur Potts. Beaches-East York was a long-held NDP riding until the 2014 election, when it went red.
- Marit Stiles for the NDP took Davenport.
- Liberal candidate Michael Coteau took Don Valley East.
- PC candidate Vincent Ke took Don Valley North.
- Kathleen Wynne very narrowly defeated PC candidate Jon Kieran in her home riding, by 181 votes, of Don Valley West.
- PC candidate Robin Martin took Eglinton-Lawrence.
- PC candidate Kinga Surma took Etobicoke Centre.
- PC candidate Christine Hogarth took Etobicoke-Lakeshore.
- No surprise here that Doug Ford won his own riding, Etobicoke North, the "heart of Ford Nation."
- NDP candidate Tom Rakocevic took Humber River-Black Creek.
- NDP candidate Bhutila Karpoche swept the Parkdale-High Park riding — apparently PC candidate Adam Pham's questionable campaign tactics did not work out.
- PC candidate Aris Babikian took Scarborough-Agincourt.
- PC candidate Christina Mitas took Scarborough Centre.
- Liberal candidate Mitzie Hunter won the tightest race by 81 votes, in Scarborough-Guildwood, against PC candidate and police officer Roshan Nallaratnam, who is currently under an internal police investigation after it was alleged he made threats during the campaign.
- PC candidate Raymond Cho took Scarborough North, news that he got in a "physical altercation" with a student at a Scarborough school earlier this week didn't seem to impact his chances.
- PC candidate Vijay Thanigasalam took Scarborough-Rouge Park.
- NDP candidate Doly Begum took Scarborough Southwest.
- NDP candidate Chris Glover took Spadina-Fort York.
- NDP candidate Suze Morrison took Toronto Centre.
- NDP candidate Peter Tabuns took Toronto-Danforth.
- NDP candidate Jill Andrew took Toronto-St. Paul's.
- NDP candidate Jessica Bell took University-Rosedale.
- PC candidate Stan Cho took Willowdale.
- PC candidate Roman Baber took York Centre.
- NDP candidate Faisal Hassan took York-South Weston.
Outside of Toronto, Andrea Horwath easily won her Hamilton-Centre riding that she's held since 2004.
