On June 28, 2024, Ghamari was removed from the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario caucus by Doug Ford, party leader and premier, after she met with the British far-right figure Tommy Robinson.[2][3] In a statement, Ford's office said the premier was "extremely disappointed" that Ghamari had given Robinson a platform and that her denials surrounding the incident "speaks volumes about her judgment and honesty."[4]
