The 1996 Ontario New Democratic Party leadership election was held in Hamilton, Ontario, on June 22, 1996 to elect a successor to Bob Rae as leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP). The convention was necessary because Rae resigned on February 29, 1996. Frances Lankin was an early favourite but was hurt due to her close association with the Rae government. Hampton, an outsider, led on the first ballot and won the leadership by 178 votes over Lankin on the third ballot. He remained as leader of the party until 2009.
