(PETERBOROUGH) - Today, the Green Party of Canada’s Peterborough – Kawartha Electoral District Association issued the following statement:
“Together, Michael Bell (CEO) and the local Green Party Association cannot support candidate Gary Beamish’s statement to withdraw and endorse another party’s candidate.
“The statement by our candidate, Gary Beamish, earlier this week, that he would withdraw from the election and endorse another party’s candidate took us by surprise, and we apologize for any confusion it may have caused our supporters in the Peterborough- Kawartha riding.
“In keeping with the mandate of the Green Party of Canada, we will consider our options and discuss our next steps with local members.
“We very much respect the democratic process and the rights of voters and we will keep our members informed throughout the process.”
