Raj Saini, a Liberal candidate in Ontario, says he will no longer be running in Canada’s 2021 federal election, following allegations that he harassed a former member of his staff. Saini has firmly denied the allegations.
In a statement Saturday, Saini confirmed he has taken “the painful decision” to end his campaign for the 44th Parliament.
“Continuing the campaign no longer serves the best interests of my family, staff members, campaign team and constituents,” Saini said in the statement. “For everyone’s health and safety, I have taken the painful decision to end my campaign for the 44th Parliament.”
