A formal complaint has been filed with Toronto’s integrity commissioner against Mayor John Tory regarding his use of robocalls in October’s municipal election.

The complaint was filed on Monday by Parthi Kandavel — an eight-year Toronto District School Board Trustee for Scarborough Southwest.

Kandavel ran for councillor in the election on Oct. 24 in a bid to secure the seat in Ward 20.

In the complaint, Kandavel claims Tory used his title as mayor to influence the outcome of the election in the ward in a robocall broadcast to residents of Scarborough Southwest on election day.

The complaint claims Tory introduced himself on the call as “Mayor John Tory” and endorsed Gary Crawford on the call.
