The Party for People with Special Needs (fr|Parti pour les gens qui ont des besoins spéciaux) is a minor political party in Ontario, Canada, founded in 2007 and having contested the 2007 provincial election.[2] The party ran two candidates, leader Danish Ahmed in Toronto Centre and John Rubino in Trinity—Spadina,[3] neither of whom won.
PPSN was founded following a rule change regarding official party recognition; parties were required to only field two candidates to be registered, as opposed to the previous requirement of running candidates in half of all electoral districts.[4] The party's mandate was to focus on the needs of people with disabilities. The party failed to win any seats in the 2022 Ontario general election.
