Candidate for Mayor, who also ran for Mayor in 2022.
Zed Chebib is on the City of Ottawa's list of certified candidates for Mayor, with a nomination dated June 8, 2026. CFRA radio says he ran for Mayor in 2022 and that he explained his 2026 platform in an interview. voche.me found no written platform from his campaign, so the plans in this record come from his 2022 answers to a business group.

Ottawa municipal electionThe City's list of certified candidates shows Zed Chebib's nomination for Mayor dated June 8, 2026. CBC News reported on August 28, 2026 that his name is one of 14 on the ballot for Mayor, and that it did not receive a completed questionnaire from him by its deadline. The City's list shows an X account and a YouTube channel for him and gives no website.
580 CFRA, an Ottawa radio station, published an interview with him on its weekend show, where he outlines his election platform. The page gives a short description and the audio. voche.me did not listen to the audio, so no statement from it is used here. The description says he ran for Mayor in 2022.
In October 2022 a business group, OCOBIA, published candidates' answers to its questions, and his answer is on its website. He wrote that he would build a tunnel under Wellington Street and a mall above it, convert empty warehouses to shelters, convert vacant buildings to housing for low-income families and seniors together with the federal and provincial governments, and change zoning so owners can rent out part of a home or add a unit on a large lot. These statements are from 2022, and voche.me has not found whether his 2026 plans are the same.
No public office, complaint, finding or news report about him was found in the sources opened for 2026.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
In October 2022 he wrote that he would convert vacant buildings to housing for low-income families and seniors, convert empty warehouses to shelters, and change zoning to allow more rental units on existing lots.
This is his own statement from the 2022 election and not a 2026 plan.
In October 2022 he wrote that he would dig Wellington Street down by two or three storeys, cover it and build a one or two storey mall on top.
This is his own statement from the 2022 election and not a 2026 plan.
Evidence reviewed on October 5, 2026: the City of Ottawa's list of certified candidates, CBC News's list of mayoral candidates of August 28, 2026, the page for 580 CFRA's interview with him, and his answer to OCOBIA's questions of October 17, 2022. He gave the City no website. His X account and YouTube channel showed only a profile line and a channel name, with no readable posts.
Gaps. The audio of the CFRA interview was not heard, so his 2026 platform is not described. No news report with his own 2026 statements was found. The 2022 vote count for him was not taken from the City's published results and is left out. The questionnaire has not been sent.
