Election results

2006 Canadian election

Broadbent announced in 2005 that he would not run for re-election so he could devote more time to care for his ailing wife, Lucille. Richard Mahoney was again the Liberal candidate, hoping that, without an opposing star candidate, such as Broadbent, he would be elected this time. The NDP nominated Paul Dewar, a teacher and son of former mayor Marion Dewar. In November 2005, The Ottawa Citizen reported that Mahoney had been caught illegally lobbying, an important concern in an election campaign focused on Liberal corruption and ethic violations. As the Liberal national numbers declined over the course of the campaign, it seemed more likely that the NDP could retain the seat. Mahoney went on the offensive late in the campaign, claiming a vote for Paul Dewar would help the Conservatives and threatening a lawsuit against his opponent two days before the election. Dewar retained most of Broadbent's voters and won by over 5000 votes. Marion Dewar was mayor of Ottawa, Canada, from 1978 to 1985, and a member of the Parliament of Canada from 1986 to 1988. ...

2004 Canadian election

The 2004 election was an unusual campaign in Ottawa Centre. The seat was vacated in September 2003 when Liberal incumbent Mac Harb received his long-awaited patronage appointment to the Canadian Senate from outgoing Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. [1] Paul Martin loyalist Richard Mahoney won the Liberal nomination (after long-time Chretien supporter Penny Collenette withdrew [2]) and expected to win the riding.

Richard Mahoneys 2004 campaign photo Richard Mahoney (pronounced MAhaney) is a Canadian lawyer, lobbyist, community activist, and political candidate. ...


Former NDP leader and widely respected statesman Ed Broadbent came out of political retirement to win the NDP nomination in January. As the seat was vacant, a by-election was expected to fill the seat and campaigning began in early 2004. But Prime Minister Paul Martin (who was starting to be called Mr. Dithers) delayed calling the by-election, leaving Ottawa Centre without representation in the House of Commons for nearly a year. Hon. ... A by-election or bye-election is a special election held to fill a political office when the incumbent has died or resigned. ... The Right Honourable Paul Edgar Philippe Martin, PC, MP, BA, LLB (born August 28, 1938 in Windsor, Ontario) is the Prime Minister of Canada. ...


In May 2004, a federal election was called, pre-empting the by-election. The by-election campaigns became general election efforts. Broadbent was increasingly favoured to win, a mid-campaign poll showed him ahead. In addition to Broadbent's personal popularity, the NDP under new leader Jack Layton had greatly increased its popularity, especially in urban Ontario. The campaign was still hard-fought. The most controversial event was a misleading last-minute "phone blast" (mass automated recorded voice mail message) sent by the Mahoney Liberal campaign on election day alleging that Broadbent was not planning to serve as MP and would instead give up his seat to Jack Layton.[3] This was untrue and, in the end, Broadbent won a strong victory and served the full term as MP.
