David Socknacki has announced he's dropping out of Toronto mayoral race, saying his support "wasn't growing enough" to continue.
He will officially withdraw his name from the ballot for the Oct. 27 municipal election tomorrow, he said in a statement released this evening.
Soknacki, a former councillor and city budget chief, was polling a distant fourth in the race, behind John Tory, Olivia Chow and Rob Ford.
"Everyone who has been involved in my campaign over the last eight months can take pride that together, we have set a strong example for our city," Soknacki said in his statement. "Ours has been one of the most positive, the most idea-driven and the most idealistic Toronto mayoral campaigns in recent memory.
"However, today, I received confirmation of what I suspected for days: while my support is growing, it simply is not growing quickly enough to make any positive difference to the outcome on Election Day, especially given the challenges I've faced as a candidate. While we fought this as a campaign of ideas, we've also heard from voters who've told us that removing Mayor Ford is their top priority."
