Dufferin-Caledon MP David Tilson will be carrying the Conservative colours in the next federal election.
Tilson fought off a strong challenge from Palgrave area resident Paul Hong to take the nomination at the party gathering at the Orangeville Fairgrounds Friday night.
Although the actual numbers were not released, it was announced that more than 650 votes were cast, and that the final tally was close.
“A lot closer than any of us thought,” one person later commented.
Tilson admitted he was relieved with the result, and complimented the efforts of Hong and his supporters.
“There always has to be a winner, and I must say I’m glad it’s me,” Tilson said in his acceptance address.
