What To Know
Parthi Kandavel and Neethan Shan were re-elected to Toronto City Council in Scarborough on October 26, 2026, according to the unofficial results compiled on Wikipedia from the City of Toronto's results. Kandavel won Ward 20 Scarborough Southwest with 12,231 votes (35.99 per cent), ahead of Kevin Rupasinghe on 10,513. Shan won Ward 25 Scarborough-Rouge Park with 15,727 votes (44.76 per cent). The results remain unofficial until the City Clerk certifies them, as noted in Toronto Times' results coverage.
In Durham Region, Ranjith Paranivasagam won the Regional Councillor seat for Ward 2 in Ajax, according to the unofficial Town of Ajax results compiled on Wikipedia. Paranivasagam received 2,793 votes, ahead of Doug Glass (2,445) and incumbent Sterling Lee (2,406). Wikipedia's Durham Region results page lists Paranivasagam among the elected members of Durham Regional Council.
Background: Kandavel first won the Ward 20 seat in a 2023 by-election, after Gary Crawford resigned to run provincially, and Shan won the Ward 25 seat in a September 2025 by-election after Jennifer McKelvie resigned to run federally, having previously sat on council from 2017 to 2018, according to Wikipedia's Toronto election page. Paranivasagam's campaign site describes him as a finance professional with Bank of Montreal experience, a former board director and treasurer with the Boys and Girls Club of East Scarborough, and a broadcaster and community volunteer. The Scarborough results complete the ward picture after former MP Shaun Chen's win over incumbent Jamaal Myers in Ward 23, reported by Global News on October 27.
