Well that's interesting!
Politics left a sour taste in Akande's mouth. She didn't complete her first and only term in the Ontario legislature and hasn't belonged to a political party since then. As she was leaving the governing NDP, she said, "a government must reflect everyone in the province. But this government has compromised its base. I can't identify with this party."
