“Time to pass the torch”: Andrea Horwath steps down as Ontario NDP leader | FULL

Andrea Howath announced Thursday she will be stepping down as Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) Leader, saying it is “time to pass the torch.”

Horwath, who has led the party since 2009, through four election cycles, was met with cheers as she took the stage. Voters in Hamilton-Centre re-elected Horwath as their MPP in a seat she has held since 2007.

“I’m not shedding tears of sadness, I’m shedding tears of pride,” she said, speaking to supporters at the party’s headquarters in Hamilton. “Look at you, look at all of you, look at what we have done together.

Horwath said the party is “stronger and more ready to govern than ever before.”
