Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Jun, 2016 01:31 PM
    TORONTO — The Ontario Progressive Conservatives have nominated their candidate for a byelection in an east Toronto riding.
     
    Raymond Cho is currently a city councillor for the area and a longtime resident of Toronto.
     
    The Scarborough-Rouge River seat has been vacant since Liberal backbencher Bas Balkissoon abruptly resigned in March.
     
    Premier Kathleen Wynne has six months to call a byelection to replace Balkissoon, but no date has yet been set for the vote.
