呱呱叫新闻:道格-福特赢得安省保守党党领选举

比预定选举结果公布时间延迟了7个小时之后,安省保守党宣布:道格-福特赢得安省保守党党领选举。

本次选举投票人数创下了历史记录,达到了64,053,超过了2002年的历史记录44,188人

Party officials said that voter turnout was higher than in any other leadership contest in its history, with 64,053 preferential ballots cast over the week-long voting period, though 71,450 total members were registered. The previous record was 44,188 ballots cast in 2002.

安省华人移民积极参政,投入了本次安省保守党选举的方方面面,大部分华人移民支持道格-福特,帮助道格-福特击败建制派支持者Elliott做出了巨大贡献。选举结果票数非常接近,据说只有100票的差距。华人移民中有人报告一家贡献了7票给福特,了不起。
