11:00- Dirty politics in Kitchener’s municipal election campaign?
Wasai Rahimi, Candidate for Ward 2 in the City of Kitchener
A candidate running in Kitchener’s Ward 2 says he’s been asked to step aside, with just over one week to go in the municipal election campaign. Wasai Rahimi says mayoral candidate Dan Glenn-Graham sent him an email on Tuesday, asking him to step aside and endorse opponent Dan Graham. “I am both hurt and disappointed that Mr. Glenn-Graham would attempt to interfere and manipulate the race for Ward 2 councillor. I had a great deal of respect for Mr. Glenn-Graham and was a strong supporter of his campaign for Mayor.” Rahimi said in an email sent to 570 News. Rahimi adds, “I believe in transparency, accountability and democracy. Only the voters have the right to make the choice of who will represent them.”
