Mississauga mayor-elect Alvin Tedjo and city council will be sworn in for the next term on Nov. 18 at the inaugural council meeting.<\/p>\n
Tedjo, whose poll numbers early in the mayoral campaign didn\u2019t initially place him in contention with the incumbent Carolyn Parrish or her predecessor Bonnie Crombie, wound up decisively defeating the two political heavyweights<\/a> on election night this past Monday.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Ten other mayoral candidates collected relative handfuls of votes as Mississauga voters cast their ballots in the 2026 municipal election.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Here are the winners in the city council races<\/a>:<\/p>\n Ward 1 \u2014 Stephen Dasko (incumbent) The city clerk\u2019s office also confirmed Thursday that 33.9 per cent of eligible voters (191,166 voters) in Mississauga cast ballots.\u00a0That represents a significant increase from 21.8 per cent (107,310 voters) in the 2022 municipal election<\/a>, one of the lowest in Ontario.<\/p>\n Mississauga\u2019s 2024 mayoral byelection, by comparison, drew 25.7 per cent to the polls.<\/p>\n Additionally, the City of Mississauga said 44,049 advance votes were cast during the six days of early voting Oct. 6-11.
