decided not to run for re-election after 11 years. Jack Layton
, a long-time city councillor and leader of the council's left wing contested the Mayor's position as the first-ever official candidate of the Metro New Democratic Party
(NDP).
The centre-right was initially divided amongst three candidates, former city councillor June Rowlands
who had most recently been chair of the police commission, then-city councillor Betty Disero
and former alderman, provincial cabinet minister and Red Tory
Susan Fish
. Fearing that the 1991 election would be a repeat of 1978
where a split on the right allowed left-winger John Sewell
to win, the business and development community worked behind the scenes to consolidate its support behind Rowlands. Lacking funds, Disero and Fish were forced to drop out before the close of nominations resulting in a two-way race between Rowlands and Layton with Rowlands proving victorious. Fish's name remained on the ballot, as she withdrew after the deadline for nominations had passed.
