She said the party is working hard to diversify its leadership to include women, people with disabilities, youth and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
“We are proud of the fact that women gained the confidence of their communities to be selected as ward candidates. It is encouraging that women are being affirmed in this manner, but there’s a lot of work to be done. Non-sexism in our view is complete parity.
