Mohamed Dhanani Rematch With Parker
Mar 02, 2010 | admin | 5
Writing on her blog, Town Crier scribe Kris Scheuer sits down with Ward 26 challenger Mohamed Dhanani, who came in second to current councillor John Parker and is expected to make it a tough race:
“Dhanani is taking this re-run seriously. “To have a shot, I will work full time on my campaign,” said Dhanani, who planned to register Feb. 26.
In mid-February, Dhanani left his job working for the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Brad Duguid so he could devote himself to the municipal campaign. This will mean dipping into his savings while the incumbent “continues to receive a paycheck until election day,” said Dhanani.
He also worked for pervious provincial energy and infrastructure ministers Gerry Phillips and George Smitherman, who is now running for mayor of Toronto. Those Liberal connections may come in handy.
“We will have a broad coalition from left to right leaning including some current politicians,” said the married father of two.”
