Ontario MPP Caroline Mulroney to Exit “Elected Life” in June 2026
Is Caroline Mulroney Resigning?
Yes — Ontario MPP Caroline Mulroney, the daughter of former prime minister Brian Mulroney, announced that she’ll be leaving “elected life” on June 5, 2026.
“2 years ago, I lost my father. Last year, my husband, Andrew, and I became empty nesters. These are the kinds of moments that clarify what matters,” Mulroney said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on May 25.
“Thank you for your trust. When I first put my name forward in 2017, I made you a single promise: to listen, to care, and to stand up for you. I have tried to honour that promise every single day.”
Premier Doug Ford has tapped Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy to serve as interim president of the Treasury Board following her departure next month.
Mulroney’s resignation will also trigger a byelection in her riding of York-Simcoe — in addition to 1 in Scarborough Southwest that Ford must call by the end of summer.
