Raj Grewal not seeking re-election in Brampton East

With less than two weeks until the official registration period closes, Grewal had yet to make his intentions known publicly. A look at his social media feeds reveals little in the way of campaign efforts. Repeated requests for comment sent to Grewal by The Pointer over the past month have gone unanswered, and a representative for Grewal, speaking at his Brampton constituency office in August, said even his staff were unsure what Grewal’s final decision would be.

Independent MP Raj Grewal, who officially resigned from the Liberal caucus this year among swirling controversy surrounding his gambling problems, has reportedly decided he will not be seeking re-election in October. 

The decision, coming less than two weeks before the official registration deadline, is not a surprise to many in his Brampton East riding, who watched scandal after scandal unfold around their elected representative over the course of 2018.
