Peter Delefes is a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Halifax Citadel in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1998 to 1999 as a member of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party.[1]
Delefes is a life-long resident of the South End neighbourhood of Halifax, Nova Scotia.[2] A graduate of Dalhousie University, Delefes is a retired school principal.[2] He was an active member of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union, serving as president of the Halifax Local.[2] He also served as President of the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia.[3]
Delefes attempted to enter provincial politics in 1997,[4] but lost to Liberal Ed Kinley by 165 votes in a byelection for the Halifax Citadel riding.[5][6] He ran again in 1998,[7] and appeared to defeat Kinley by 125 votes on election night,[8] however, there was some confusion over the calculation of poll results and the margin of victory was reduced to 40 when official results were announced.[9] A judicial recount was held on April 14, and Delefes was officially declared elected by 37 votes.[10][11]
In the 1999 election, Delefes and Kinley ran against each other for the third time in 19 months,[12] but Progressive Conservative Jane Purves won the seat, defeating Delefes by 434 votes.[13] Delefes tried to regain the seat in the 2003 election,[14] but both he and Purves were defeated by Liberal leader Danny Graham.[15][16]
