Incumbent Liberal Sean Casey projected to hold P.E.I.'s Charlottetown riding
CBC
CBC News is projecting that Liberal incumbent Sean Casey will remain the member of Parliament for P.E.I.'s Charlottetown riding.
Conservative candidate Natalie Jameson was trailing Casey by more than 1,400 votes when the call was made just after 10 p.m. AT.
With nearly 90 per cent of the 77 polls reporting at midnight AT, Casey had 13,147 votes compared to 5,932 for Jameson. The NDP's Joe Byrne was in third place with 849 votes.
Charlottetown was the last of P.E.I.'s four ridings to report any election results.
The Charlottetown riding has been held by the Liberal Party of Canada for more than 30 years.
Casey was first elected in 2011, and has represented the people of Charlottetown for the last four terms.
"I always characterize the 45,000 people of Charlottetown as my bosses. And this was time for my job review," Casey told CBC News following his projected win Monday evening.
"I'm honoured and humbled to have passed my job review," he said.
"I'll continue to do my best, I'll continue to project your voice even when it's not popular in Ottawa, and I'll continue to contribute to an increase in civility in parliament because we need more of it."
Charlottetown is the smallest federal riding on Prince Edward Island in terms of geography, but is the most densely populated.
