Two Conservative Party riding executives in Southern Ontario have resigned because of what one of them labelled a “troubling” nomination race that she says was unfairly tilted in favour of one candidate.

Catherine Agar and Brian Kaufman, former president and vice-president respectively of the Electoral District Association for the riding of Oxford, are both exiting their positions just days after Arpan Khanna, a lawyer from Mississauga, Ont., won the riding’s Tory nomination race, according to a Globe and Mail article.
