Kevin Vuong MP (born c. 1989)[1] is a Canadian politician who is the Member of Parliament for Spadina—Fort York. Nominated in the 2021 federal election as a Liberal candidate, he was dropped by the party two days before the election over his failure to disclose a 2019 charge for sexual assault that was later withdrawn. Given the timing, Vuong's name remained on the ballot as a Liberal, narrowly winning the riding by less than 1,400 votes.
Vuong sits currently as an independent within Parliament and has faced calls to resign. In November 2023, he purchased a Conservative Party membership and publicly indicated that he wished to sit with the Conservative caucus and run under the party's banner in the 45th federal election.
Prior to entering politics, Vuong was a controversial businessman, who sold COVID masks, and served as a sub-lieutenant of the HMCS York as a reservist in the Royal Canadian Navy.
