To re-clarify:  More specifically, her main support was not the local Liberal riding association. 
The majority of her support was from the local Greek ethnic vote, DeSousa's big spill over supporter base who are extremely loyal to DeSousa and thus, wanted to severely punish Yolande James for being Parachuted and herself trying to get her elected by capitalizing on her notoriety, also to punish the Federal Liberals for BARRING DeSousa from running and finally those pissed off at James and the Liberals and were working long and hard behind the scenes to obtain an "ANYBODY BUT YOLANDE JAMES" victory !  Their goal was to strategically split the vote so Yolande James would not get elected.  So it was basically between Rizqy and Lambropoulos.  Yolande James didn't have a chance of getting in but she didn't know it.  Note that she placed 3rd and LAST on the first ballot.   Lambropoulos also struck a deal with James and James supporters backed her.  It was a Perfect Storm for Lambropoulos.
