WATCH ABOVE: The list of potential candidates in Toronto’s upcoming mayoral by-election continues to grow, but why are so many of them only “considering” a run? – Mar 8, 2023

As Toronto City Hall contemplates life after John Tory, several candidates have decided to throw their hat into the ring to become the city’s next mayor.

A byelection to replace Tory has been set to take place on June 26.

Tory resigned after admitting to an affair with an employee in his office. Tory said he would step down to “reflect on my mistakes” and “do the work of rebuilding the trust of my family.”

Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie has led the city since Tory’s exit on Feb. 17.
