The mood grew sombre as supporters and volunteers watched the voting numbers begin to trickle in at what was to have been MPP Carol Mitchell's election night party on Thursday, October 6 in Clinton.

Mitchell, who has been in politics for 18 years, eight in Provincial office as MPP, was defeated by newcomer, Progressive Conservative candidate Lisa Thompson.

MPP for Huron Bruce and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs for the Province, Mitchell travelled extensively throughout her riding of Huron Bruce as MPP and throughout the Province as a Cabinet Minister.

Mitchell gave a brief statement to the media and then asked them to leave before she spoke with her supporters and volunteers, many of whom were visibly shaken by the upset.
