He ran for Parliament in 2006, challenging the incumbent John McCallum, then the defense minister, in the electoral district of Markham.
Partap’s campaign resonated strongly with the Chinese community in Markham, which comprises a significant percentage of the population. His promise to offer an apology to Chinese Head Tax suffering families garnered attention and influenced the government’s subsequent decision-making process.
