In a significant political shift, two key ridings in Richmond Hill—Richmond Hill and Aurora–Oak Ridges–Richmond Hill—have flipped to the Conservative Party in the latest federal election. Both ridings, previously held by Liberal MPs, were considered relatively secure, making the Conservative victories a notable development in the Greater Toronto Area.

In Richmond Hill South, Conservative candidate Vincent Ho,  defeated Liberal incumbent Majid Jowhari with a 8-point lead.  The incumbent had become very unpopular both generally and among the Iranian community of Richmond Hill which he hailed from.

Meanwhile, in Aurora–Oak Ridges–Richmond Hill, Conservative candidate Costas Menegakis reclaimed the seat he previously held from 2011 to 2015 and unseated Liberal MP Leah Taylor Roy.

These flips underscore the Conservatives’ renewed strength in suburban Ontario, traditionally a battleground region. Analysts suggest the results may signal a broader trend heading into the next federal cycle, with the Conservatives capitalizing on economic anxiety and shifting voter priorities in diverse, middle-class communities, especially among the youth.
