In the 2019 election, Bonita Zarrillo earned the unfortunate distinction of losing her seat by fewer votes than any other candidate in the country. “153 votes,” Zarrillo says, referencing a number she repeats several times during an interview with the National Post, and in conversation with voters at their doorsteps. Soaring home prices complicate Liberal re-election bid in handful of critical ridings. Zarrillo, the NDP candidate, narrowly lost to the Conservative’s Nelly Shin in what was the tightest race in the country, a three-way split determined by a margin of just 153 votes out of the 54,003 total eligible ballots cast.
