CBC News is projecting that Liberal candidate Tanveer Shahnawaz will win the federal byelection in Toronto’s BeachesEast York riding. He took an early lead on Monday night and later spoke to supporters at a pub in the city’s east end. Shahnawaz said the result would be an important moment in his career and thanked supporters gathered for the campaign event. The byelection was held to fill a vacancy in Parliament after Liberal MP Nate ErskineSmith resigned the seat last month. Voting in BeachesEast York began in the morning and polls closed at 9:30 p.m. Monday. CBC News said results would continue to be updated as they became available.
