Catherine Kitts has won again in Orléans South-Navan.
It was the second time the former communications officer faced off against public servant Yvette Ashiri, who came in second during a byelection in 2020. Shamsa Sheikh Ahmed also ran this time around.
Ashiri did not respond to CBC's survey of council candidates, but her website listed priorities including establishing a ward council to meet monthly to discuss issues, creating a more socially equitable and accessible ward, and supporting the local economy.
Kitts' priorities included improving transportation infrastructure, resolving a dispute with the NCC about a Brian Coburn extension and Cumberland Transitway, keeping taxes low, and tackling speeding.
No contact information or website was available for Ahmed.
