OTTAWA — Political pundit Sabrina Maddeaux has suspended her campaign to become a candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada in the Greater Toronto Area, saying she has lost faith in the election’s integrity, while the party disputes allegations she has made about misconduct in the nomination process.

Maddeaux, who previously wrote columns for National Post announced in January she was running for the Conservative candidacy in the riding of Aurora–Oak Ridges–Richmond Hill. In an interview, she said that she never expected the nomination process to be easy.
