| Description | OTTAWA (CP) - Liberal party stalwart Bill Graham has announced his impending retirement from federal politics and paved the way for former Ontario premier Bob Rae to seek his Toronto seat.
A onetime cabinet minister and interim Liberal leader, Graham informed the executive of his Toronto Centre riding association Thursday that he will not run in the next election. He told the gathering that party leader Stephane Dion had informed him that the nomination race will be an open one. A vote by the local grassroots, expected in April, will decide the Liberal candidate for the next election.
Rae, the former NDP premier of Ontario who finished third in the Liberal leadership race, attended the meeting and appeared certain to seek the nomination. |
