Premier Heather Stefanson has officially dropped the writ, and Manitobans will head to the polls on October 3rd.

Stefanson, who took over as premier two years ago, will try to win a third consecutive majority for the governing Progressive Conservatives.

NDP Leader Wab Kinew will lead the opposition party, and if he wins, would become the province's first First Nations premier.

The NDP has focused much of its messaging on health care and has also spent time on pocketbook issues such as utility bills and electric vehicle subsidies.

The Tories have accused Kinew of making spending promises that would require tax hikes and add to the province's fiscal troubles.

The Conservatives held 35 of the 57 seats in the Manitoba Legislature at the time of the election call, while the NDP had 18 seats and the Liberals 3.
