Ruby Dhalla kicked out of Liberal leadership race: source

The Liberal Party of Canada committee has made a unanimous decision to disqualify former MP Ruby Dhalla from the race to become the next leader, according to a confidential source. The source, who requested anonymity, revealed that a special joint committee convened on Friday afternoon and voted to remove Dhalla from the race due to violations of the election rules.

Dhalla now has the option to appeal the committee’s decision in accordance with the party’s regulations. The source disclosed that Dhalla was confronted with 12 allegations, which included accepting donations from a corporation in the form of payments to campaign staff. Additionally, she was accused of not disclosing the involvement of a non-Canadian citizen in her campaign, which the party believes could constitute as foreign interference if it occurred during an election period.

In response to CBC News’ coverage of the committee’s deliberation on her disqualification, Dhalla took to social media to express her thoughts on the matter. She vehemently denied the allegations against her, labeling them as “fabricated, fictitious, and fake” and attributing them to unidentified sources attempting to eliminate her from the leadership race.

As of now, the situation remains fluid, and more information is expected to emerge in the coming days. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
