M TeCanadian Cham-pion, Frida Jume 4, 1999 V/'Anand a ccepts Liberal defeat graciously By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion It was the hat-trick assy political party fears. For the third time in as many provincial elections the Halton Liberals failed to regain the seat st night - washed away once again in a tidal wave win for Progressive Conservative Ted Chudleigh. While the incumbent followed the Ontario-wide trend and roared back into power, Oakville's Mohan Anand - carrying the Grit banner locally thia spning - accepted tbe bass in a soft-spoken and gracious manner. 1I guess we probably didn't get our message out as strongly as the PC's did," said the retired school prin- cipal, speaking to a small group of supporters at the Muddy Duck Restaurant. 1I bow my head to the peo- pic's wishes," Mr. Anand looked to a tirne-shortened election as bis greatest enemy - that in such a diverse riding as Halton, it was extremely dîfficuit to bring people together on issues in only a montb. Stili, he didn't mask bis surprise or disappointment about losing by such a wide margin, wbich was some- where around 19,000 votes when he left to congratu- late Mr. Chudleigh. Added campaign manager Joe Gombocz, "In talkng to people over the past couple of weeks the support seemned to be much, much better than tonight's nuro- bers indicate. I'm certainly dîsappoînted by this." Those sentiments were uttered around the Halton Liberal's Main Street campaign office as well.
