The current premier of Ontario says there will be a new premier after the election on June 7 and it most certainly won’t be her.
That was a very surprising announcement.
Premier Kathleen Wynne leads the Ontario Liberal Party. She is one of three main candidates vying for the spot of premier in the upcoming election. The other two main candidates are Doug Ford Jr., who leads the Progressive Conservative (PC) party of Ontario and Andrea Horwath, who leads the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP).

Kathleen Wynne Ontario’s Next Premier
Ontario’s next premier is Kathleen Wynne.
She won the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party.
Since the Liberals are in power in the province, she will automatically become the premier as well.
Wynne’s closest competitor for the job was Sandra Pupatello.
The Liberals held a “leadership convention” to choose a new leader after Dalton McGuinty stepped down as leader and Ontario premier last October.
The convention was held on the weekend; Wynne was voted in on Saturday.
Liberal party members voted in Toronto, in three votes or “ballots.” Wynne won in the third ballot with 1,150 votes over Pupatello, who had 866 votes.
