Here's the final list of who's running for mayor and council in Hamilton this year

Aug. 19 was the last day for candidates to file their nominations at city hall for the upcoming municipal election, which are taking place on Oct. 24.

The list has changed a lot since CBC first reported it back in May.

Both veteran politicians and newcomers are putting their name forward for your votes. 

Nine candidates for mayor

Nine candidates are in the running to take current Mayor Fred Eisenberger's place. He said in June that he won't seek re-election.

The registered candidates in alphabetical order are: 

• Bob Bratina: Former mayor, Liberal MP and Ward 2 councillor.

• Ejaz Butt: Veteran taxi industry leader and immigrant from Pakistan.

• Jim Davis.

• Paul Fromm: self-described white nationalist whose groups have intervened in human rights cases on behalf of websites that promote Holocaust denial and homophobia.

• Solomon Ikhuiwu: a pastor, youth soccer coach and participant in the convoy in Ottawa earlier this year. He described himself to CBC as a conservative voice, a Black person with a young family and a Christian, representing people that "feel marginalized as the established political machinery forges ahead speaking tolerance, but rolling out agendas opposed to their words." 

• Hermiz Ishaya.

• Andrea Horwath: Former Ontario NDP leader and Hamilton city councillor.

• Keanin Loomis: Former president and CEO of the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce.

• Michael Pattison.
