Federal NDP retain Winnipeg riding

The federal New Democratic Party has maintained its grip on a historically orange Manitoba riding.

The N-D-P's Leila Dance won Winnipeg's Elmwood-Transcona riding in a byelection Monday night, edging out the Conservative candidate by 4.1 per cent.

Elections Canada data showed Dance won the race with 48.1 per cent of the vote.

Colin Reynolds increased the Tories' share of the vote from 28 per cent in the 2021 general election to 44 per cent in Monday's byelection.
