Nick Mantas, former chief-of-staff for former city councillor Jim Karygiannis, received the most votes in the Ward 22 by-election held January 15, 2021.
Nick Mantas is the unofficial winner of the Ward 22 byelection in Scarborough-Agincourt.
According to the City of Toronto’s election website, Mantas had received 3,261 votes (27 per cent) to score a narrow victory over TDSB trustee Manna Wong, who received 3,038 votes (25 per cent).
The results are considered unofficial until certified by the city clerk, which is expected next week.
The by-election was called after Jim Karygiannis was removed as city councillor last September due to a campaign spending violation related to the 2018 municipal election. He had represented the riding since 2014.
