In 2009, he entered the party leadership convention but lost to Andrea Horwath. Following Horwath's resignation as leader after the 2022 Ontario general election, the Ontario New Democratic Party caucus unanimously recommended Tabuns' selection as the Ontario NDP's interim leader. His appointment was confirmed by the party's provincial council on June 28, 2022. He served until the election of his successor, Marit Stiles, following the leadership election.
