The Toronto Metropolitan Students’ Union (TMSU) released the unofficial results of the Spring 2026 General Elections on Thursday.
The Team Justice slate won all executive committee positions apart from vice president student life.*
Zain Baig will serve as TMSU president for the 2026-27 year, alongside Polly Yang as vice president operations, Teresa Baricevic as vice president education and Megan Morgan as vice president equity.
The position of vice president student life will be determined in a by-election following candidate Aadreeka Srivastava’s disqualification. According to section 11.5.1 of the Elections Procedure Code (EPC), when a winning executive candidate is disqualified, the Board of Directors (BoD) will arrange another election within two weeks.
Slate FCS Forward won the Faculty of Community Services Director seats and Engineers of Tomorrow nabbed both Faculty of Engineering & Architecture Science Director seats. The remaining positions were filled by independent candidates.
Four candidates were withdrawn from the race, including incumbents Sakina Haider and Raiyan Mirja—who were recently impeached alongside two other BoD members, rendering them ineligible to run according to TMSU by-law 4.4.2.
