The Chatham-Kent municipal election is approaching following a restructuring of the local council. The new system will feature 14 council seats and a mayor across eight wards, a reduction from the previous 17 councillors and one mayor. A total of 86 candidates have registered to run for these positions. Amidst the election cycle, seven current councillors have announced they will not seek re-election. These officials cited a negative political climate as a primary factor, with some noting that municipal leaders have faced significant “anger and ire from the public” regarding local issues such as flooding and explosions. Some departing officials also cited burnout as a reason for their decision.
