Toronto

Olivia Chow was elected as Toronto’s 66th mayor in Monday night’s closer-than-anticipated byelection.

Chow edged out former city councillor Ana Bailão — the only two candidates to garner more than 100,000 votes. Several other names saw at least 10,000 ballots cast with their names selected.

In total, there were 102 names for Torontonians to choose from. Here’s how some of the notable fringe candidates fared:

• Gong Xiao Hua: He received just under 3,000 votes, good for 11th place.

• Chris Sky (Chris Saccocia): He finished 9th with approximately 8,000 votes.

• Giorgio Mammolitti: He finished 13th with just over 1,000 votes.

• Molly the dog: The only four-legged candidate on the ballot managed to crack the top 20 in Monday’s vote. Molly the dog, running with her owner Toby Heaps, received just under 600 votes. The canine, and her owner ran on the promise to “Stop the Salt Assault” on city roads during the winter. Heaps claimed if he had won he would designate Molly as the city’s first dog mayor.
