Comment: Please refer to the below comment for analysis of other sources.* [1] and [2] are WP:ROUTINE coverage of the announcement of his candidacy, so can't count towards WP:BIO. The 1st one is also potentially WP:PRIMARY as it states that it is based of a WP:PRSOURCE released by the Liberal Party.[3] is paywalled, but, from what is not redacted is potentially WP:PRIMARY as it seems to be mainly based of statements he made/an interview with him. Regardless, even assuming that this counts, multiple published sources that pass are required per WP:BIO.So basically due to losing the election he's not eligible for WP:NPOL and per this source analysis and the one below, he fails the requirements of WP:BIO.
