Dear Friends & Fellow Liberals,
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone that has continued to support me throughout my political career. I did not start this journey for personal or political gain; it has always been about representing my home riding and making a genuine contribution to our community. With your advice, encouragement, and support, we won the nomination in 2015.
Together, with my incredible unified team, we started a grassroots movement that made an undeniable impact on the Town of Milton. Since the 2015 campaign, we have worked hard to maintain community engagement and set the stage for the 2019 federal election. We were not discouraged, you did not give up. You inspired me with your passion, your commitment, and your dedication to Milton, Canada and the Liberal principles of democracy. You asked me to keep campaigning and keep fighting for Milton, for the Liberals, and for a just Canada.
My family, my team and I have always held a strong belief in the values of fairness and equality, however, our leader, Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, personally communicated to us that there is, indeed, a preferred candidate for Milton.
After a series of events and meetings, I made the decision not to oppose the will of the Leader of the Liberal Party. As a result, I have decided to withdraw my nomination candidacy for the 2019 federal election.
Nonetheless, our mission continues: I remain passionate about representing the true voice of the people, regardless of any obstacles and challenges we may face.
We will continue to uphold the very values that made us join the Liberal movement in the first place. We will stand up for democratic ideals as we work diligently to carry on this political journey with your support.
Yours Truly,
Azim Rizvee
