Candidates have until December 5th to register.

There's just under two weeks left to go in the Ontario NDP leadership race, but so far, there's only one official candidate.

Currently, MPP Marit Stiles is the only registered candidate.

A few other caucus members have said they're considering a run for the job, including Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates.

However, other candidates who choose to run will need to register and raise $55,000 by December 5th.

The party's top job became available after former leader Andrea Horwath resigned on election night.
