Ah, the things you'll do for love.

DimitriSoudassays it was his loyalty to hisfianceEve Adams and his support forher nomination battle in the Ontario riding ofOakvilleNorth-Burlington that led him to leavehis post in the Conservative Party.

"You know what? Ill rip up any contract that says I cant help my family. I will breach any contract that says I cant help my family," he said to Evan Solomon on CBC Radio'sThe House.

"If theres one thing about me, its my loyalty. For decades, I was extremely loyal to the prime minister. And in this case, I could no longer do my job as executive director of the party recusingmyself from anything to do with the nomination," he said.

Soudaswas forced out from his top staff position with the partyat the end of March,after itwas made known that he tried to interfere with hisfiance'sConservative nomination battle.

Sources had told CBC News thatSoudasangered many in the party including some ConservativeMPs by getting involved.Longtime party organizers expressed frustration with the situation in Oakville-North Burlington, pointing out that Soudas was their ultimate boss.

When asked about whyhe lefthis position with the party he served for the past 20 years of his life,Soudassaid he chose his "family over politics."

"I chose to give my loyalty to the woman that I love and I came in a moment where she was incapacitated. I sure hope you would do exactly the same thing for your wife and Im sure your wife would do the exact same thing for you,"Soudassaid to Solomon.

Adams has been recovering from a concussion from a fall earlier this year.

Adams isthe MP for the Mississauga-Brampton South riding, which is to be split among several newridingsin 2015 when Elections Canada adds another 30 electoral districts to the Canadian map.

She is seeking the nomination for the nearby, newly created riding ofOakvilleNorth-Burlington, a race that has seen its fair share of mudslinging and accusations of wrongdoing including allegations thatthe Adamscampaign paid for the party memberships of some of their supporters in the new federal riding.

Adams's team also allege that Lishchyna's campaign made illegalcalls badgering constituents without divulging on whose behalf those calls were being made.

However, Adams said that "the mud does not go back and forth."

"I've sat here and taken the high road.What I've done is I've gone out and met with voters on their doorstepsin the snow, in the rain, and I talk to them about issues," she said to Solomon.

Both the Adams andLishchynacamps have filed a number of complaints to the party, theCRTCand Elections Canada.

The nomination vote was originally set for Sunday, but the Conservative Party announcedthe votewould be delayed indefinitelywhile it investigates the complaints.
