Lambropoulos won the Liberal nomination on March 8, 2017 against the favoured candidate, Yolande James. James had previously been a provincial cabinet minister with strong ties to the Liberal party. However, she came in third place.[8] Another likely candidate, Alan DeSousa, was not included on the ballot at all after being turned down by the Liberal Party.[8][9]   Lambropoulos's campaign received strong support from the Greek community.[4][9]
