It’s official. Mississauga has a new mayor, two first-time city councillors and nine other councillors who’ll return to represent their wards for another four years.

Mississauga’s city clerk has certified the results of the 2026 municipal election, making them official, the City of Mississauga said Thursday morning. 

“Certification confirms the final election results after all votes have been counted and verified, as required by the Municipal Elections Act,” the city said in a news release. “Mississauga voters elected a mayor, 11 ward/regional councillors and school board trustees. These elected officials will help make decisions about city services, education, infrastructure and community priorities over the next four years.”

The newly elected Mississauga city council, headed by mayor-elect Alvin Tedjo, will meet for the first time on Nov. 16. The inaugural meeting takes place in the main auditorium at the Living Arts Centre, starting at 7 p.m.

During the ceremonial meeting, the new mayor and members of council will take their oaths of office and formally begin their term, which runs from 2026 to 2030.

Tedjo, who’s moving from the Ward 2 council seat into the mayor’s office, and Mississauga city council will then quickly get down to business two days later at a general committee meeting to take place on Nov. 18.

Mississauga mayor-elect Alvin Tedjo and city council will be sworn in for the next term on Nov. 18 at the inaugural council meeting.

Tedjo, whose poll numbers early in the mayoral campaign didn’t initially place him in contention with the incumbent Carolyn Parrish or her predecessor Bonnie Crombie, wound up decisively defeating the two political heavyweights on election night this past Monday.

Following a hotly contested 2026 Mississauga mayoral race that kicked into high gear in early September, Tedjo garnered 74,479 votes to defeat Parrish (51,853 votes), Crombie (43,191 votes) and Ward 7 Coun. Dipika Damerla (11,500 votes) on Oct. 26.

Ten other mayoral candidates collected relative handfuls of votes as Mississauga voters cast their ballots in the 2026 municipal election.

Those totals, in addition to final vote tallies in the council and school board trustee contests, were made official by the city clerk Thursday morning.

Here are the winners in the city council races:

Ward 1 — Stephen Dasko (incumbent)
Ward 2 — Tom Ellard — succeeds Alvin Tedjo
Ward 3 — Chris Fonseca (incumbent)
Ward 4 — John Kovac (incumbent)
Ward 5 — Natalie Hart (incumbent)
Ward 6 — Joe Horneck (incumbent)
Ward 7 — Lucas Alves — succeeds Dipika Damerla
Ward 8 — Matt Mahoney (incumbent)
Ward 9 — Martin Reid (incumbent)
Ward 10 — Sue McFadden (incumbent)
Ward 11 — Brad Butt (incumbent)

The city clerk’s office also confirmed Thursday that 33.9 per cent of eligible voters (191,166 voters) in Mississauga cast ballots. That represents a significant increase from 21.8 per cent (107,310 voters) in the 2022 municipal election, one of the lowest in Ontario.

Mississauga’s 2024 mayoral byelection, by comparison, drew 25.7 per cent to the polls.

Additionally, the City of Mississauga said 44,049 advance votes were cast during the six days of early voting Oct. 6-11. That number set a new all-time mark for the city and represents a 57 per cent increase compared to advance voting in the 2022 municipal election.

The other 10 mayoral candidates to earn votes during the 2026 election were:

David Shaw — 1,587
Mike Matulewicz — 1,188
Amjad Jilani — 537
Frank Fang — 1,822
Fadi Naami — 311
Karam Ahmed — 1,058
Aamir Bhatti — 604
Gord Elliott — 876
