Voters in the Markham–Unionville riding elected Bob Saroya of the Conservative Party as their MP in the 2015 election.

Markham–Unionville was a unique riding in that it was the only seat the Liberals lost after the riding boundaries changed that would have been won by the Conservatives in 2011 based on the redistributed results.

Before re-distribution, the riding was held by Liberal MP John McCallum who decided in 2015 to run in the newly-formed neighbouring riding of Markham-Thornhill.

Candidates

Liberal: Alan Ho
