Liberal leader Stephen Del Duca has said he will step down as party leader after the election defeat tonight.
Del Duca failed to regain the place he lost in 2018 in Von Woodbridge, and the Liberals remain in third place after the PCs and NDP.
He says he has asked for a leadership competition to be held as soon as possible.

Longtime Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horvat says it’s time for her to “hand over the torch” to a new party leader in 13 years.
She easily won her ride at the Hamilton Center and maintained her party’s position as the official opposition. However, she failed to bring her party to power after leading them in a fourth election.
At times, crying, Horvat said he would continue to fight for the values he has fought for for so many years.

The NDP says voters in the Kiiwetinoong area of northern Ontario have been diverted from polling stations.
NDP Provincial Director Lucy Watson wrote a letter Thursday to Chief Elector Greg Essen urging him to step up a directive he issued earlier in the week allowing voters in Kiiwetinoong to vote at any polling station due to staffing problems.
“People who have the right to vote go to the polls and get rejected,” Erin Morrison, Ontario’s NDP communications director, told CTV News.
On Monday, Essensa cited an act authorizing the extension of a special voting program to tackle problems, including floods, staff shortages, COVID-19 outbreaks and geographical barriers. “This is a ride that is over 50 percent local. This is the only ride in the whole province, which is over 50 percent of the indigenous population, “said Morrison.
But voters were still turned away on Thursday by opinion pollsters who said they had not heard of the directive, Watson said.
“Please direct your return officer immediately and all alternates in charge of return to read the Directive immediately and allow unhindered access to surveys in accordance with the Directive,” Watson said.
