Doly Begum

Doly Begum is a prominent Canadian politician, currently serving as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Scarborough Southwest since 2026. A member of the Liberal Party, she has made significant strides in her political career, transitioning from provincial to federal representation.

Before her election to the House of Commons, Doly was the Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Scarborough Southwest from 2018 to 2026. During her tenure with the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP), she held the position of deputy leader from 2022 until her departure in 2026.

In a bold move, Doly resigned from her roles as MPP and deputy provincial NDP leader in 2026 to pursue a new opportunity with the federal Liberal Party, successfully winning the Scarborough Southwest federal by-election.
