Bonnie Crombie has announced her intention to run for mayor of Mississauga once again. In an interview with 680NewsRadio on Sunday, she confirmed that she plans to register as a candidate for the upcoming municipal election on Tuesday.

Over the weekend, Crombie communicated her decision to her supporters, encouraging them to join her in this new campaign. "Please join me as I officially register as a candidate for Mayor of Mississauga," she stated in a message.

Crombie previously served as the mayor of Mississauga from 2014 until 2024, during which she held the City’s top position with a wide range of responsibilities. However, she chose to step down in order to lead the Ontario Liberal Party (OLP). Under her leadership, the Liberals faced challenges, culminating in a third-place finish in the 2025 Ontario general election. This unsuccessful outcome also saw her fail to secure a seat in the legislature.

Following the disappointing results, the OLP initiated a leadership review, where Crombie garnered 57 percent support from party members. Despite this level of backing, the unsatisfactory performance of the party prompted her to resign as the leader of the OLP at the beginning of this year.

Now, with the municipal election approaching, Crombie is looking to reclaim her previous role as mayor of Mississauga. In this election, she will be competing against the current mayor, Carolyn Parrish, who is seeking re-election. The electoral battle is scheduled for Monday, October 26, 2026, when voters will decide who will lead the city.

As Crombie gears up for her campaign, the political landscape in Mississauga is set to become increasingly competitive, and her past experience and political history will likely play a crucial role in her bid to regain the mayoral seat.
