The Candidate

A STRONG,
RELIABLE VOICE
FOR SCARBOROUGH.

Zakir Patel is a South Asian-Canadian community leader, digital creator, and proven candidate who has run multiple times for Ward 25 Scarborough-Rouge Park. His slogan — "Getting Things Done" — is not a promise. It is a track record built through years of door-knocking, town halls, and showing up for the most diverse ward in Toronto.

Ward 25 is one of Canada's most multicultural communities — South Asian, Chinese, Caribbean, Somali, Filipino, and many more. Zakir is the candidate who has built genuine trust across every one of those communities, as his own campaign photos prove: every face of Scarborough holding his signs.

In 2026, with The Next Majority and Technocracy AI Canada behind him, Zakir Patel has the tools, the technology, and the coalition to finally win.

GETTING THINGS
DONE

01
🏘️
Scarborough Infrastructure
Ward 25 has been underfunded for decades. Zakir will fight for road repairs, park upgrades, community centre investment, and transit improvements that Scarborough residents have demanded for years.
02
🤝
Multicultural Community Services
Ward 25 is one of Canada's most diverse communities. Multilingual settlement services, culturally competent programs, and direct City Hall access in every language spoken in the ward.
03
🏠
Affordable Housing
Renters in Scarborough-Rouge Park are being priced out. Anti-displacement policies, mixed-income development, and tenant protections that work for working families.
04
🎓
Youth & Education
Fund our schools. Scarborough's youth deserve equal access to arts, sports, after-school programs, and mental health resources. Education equity is a Ward 25 priority.
05
🚇
Transit & Connectivity
Scarborough residents spend more time commuting than anywhere else in Toronto. Zakir will fight for Scarborough Subway completion, better bus frequency, and safer cycling routes.
06
🛡️
Community Safety
Safety through community investment — violence prevention, youth employment, mental health crisis response, and neighbourhood partnerships that actually serve Ward 25 residents.
07
💚
Health & Wellness
Scarborough has some of the longest emergency room wait times in Toronto. Zakir will advocate for expanded community health centres, multilingual mental health services, culturally competent care for South Asian and newcomer families, active living infrastructure — parks, trails, recreation — and a City-funded wellness fund for Ward 25 seniors and youth.
The Coalition

EVERY
COMMUNITY.
ONE VOICE.

Zakir Patel's campaign reflects the true face of Ward 25 — South Asian families, Chinese-Canadian neighbours, Black community leaders, and every newcomer who chose Scarborough as home. This is augmented democracy: every community at the table, every vote counted.
