The City of Ottawa’s open data file of nominated candidates shows Zahy A Adam’s nomination for Ward 24 Barrhaven East dated May 8, 2026, with the same date for his registration in the City’s Contribution Rebate Program. The City’s certified-candidate page prints the year of that date as 2024. voche.me uses the date in the open data file, which also matches the Barrhaven Bugle. The ballot name is Zahy A Adam. His campaign website and X account use the name Adam Zahy, and CBC News notes that his campaign material also uses that name. The City list gives him a website, an X account, a LinkedIn page and a TikTok account.
In the CTV News Ottawa questionnaire he says he works in healthcare as a Certified Medical Device Reprocessing Technician at CHEO, the Queensway Carleton Hospital and the Provis Endoscopy Clinic, and says the work focuses on infection control, quality assurance and following regulatory standards. He says he has lived in Ottawa for 10 years, writes political commentary as an amateur journalist, and worked earlier in administrative management at the Hall of Peace, overseeing venue operations, budgets and health and safety. The Gamma Chapter page of the Medical Device Reprocessing Association of Ontario lists Adam Zahy as Vice-President of the chapter for 2026 to 2028, as he says in the CTV News Ottawa questionnaire. In the CBC News questionnaire he describes the role as Vice-President of the Medical Device Reprocessing Association of Ontario. The association’s Executive Corner for 2026 to 2028 lists Roch Landriault as the association’s Vice President. That questionnaire also says he has 23 years of global engineering management, and then says he managed engineering projects for over three decades across 15 countries. The answer gives two different lengths, and voche.me did not check either with the bodies named. His campaign site says he is a board member with the Ontario Medical Association and the Medical Device Reprocessing Association of Ontario, and voche.me did not find the Ontario Medical Association role on any page it read.
His campaign site lists a plan for neighbourhood transit with electric minibuses that run from side streets to main stations and connect to Routes 74 and 75, and a pass that costs $1 for unlimited 24-hour access. It lists a three-part housing plan (more townhomes, duplexes and low-rise homes near transit, faster approvals, and affordable units required in every new development), traffic calming, safer crosswalks and better lighting, and park and youth programs. It promises monthly town halls, a quarterly public report on each campaign commitment, and open office hours every Friday. In the CBC News questionnaire he says the highest 2027 property tax increase he would support is 2.5 percent, that the police budget should be increased with a focus on officers who serve the public directly, special constables and community supports. In the CTV News Ottawa questionnaire he says he does not support a new infrastructure levy. Capital Current reports that he told it he wants to create additional roads to reduce congestion. The Barrhaven Bugle reports that he had not answered its questionnaire by its September 17, 2026 issue. These are his own statements. The sources read hold no complaint against him.
