Regional council

One of the longest sitting incumbents, Paul Palleschi had five people attempting to take him out of office, including Chuck Jeffrey, husband of local MPP Linda Jeffrey. Palleschi received roughly 45% of the vote.

:Note, Tejinder Singh Bhatta has withdrawn from the race.

City council

Incumbent Bob Callahan easily won this race. Once an MPP, Callahan won over his nearest competitor by 33.36%.

Babra's second place finish was unexpected, as while he participated in a "Brampton Guardian" interview, he did not reply to "The Toronto Star" or "The Brampton News"/Wikinews. His email address was inactive throughout the duration of his campaign.

:Note, Curtis Grant and Oscar R. Odulio have both withdrawn from the race.
