Former Toronto city councillor Doug Ford says he's joining the race to succeed Patrick Brown as the leader of Ontario's Progressive Conservatives.
Brown resigned last week, just hours after two women accused him of sexual misconduct — allegations he emphatically called false.
Ford is the brother of notorious former Toronto mayor Rob Ford, who died in 2016.
Doug Ford says he intends on running a positive campaign and will give a voice to hardworking people in the province.
MPP Vic Fedeli was named interim leader of the party Friday after Brown's abrupt resignation.
The party hopes to have a leadership election in March. A provincial election is scheduled for June.
