Winnipeg seats change hands as Liberals take Winnipeg West, Conservatives win Elmwood-Transcona, CBC projects
CBC
Two Winnipeg seats are changing hands, after Liberal candidate Doug Eyolfson won Winnipeg West back from Conservative incumbent Marty Morantz, and Conservative Colin Reynolds took Elmwood-Transcona from recently elected NDP MP Leila Dance in Canada's 2025 election, CBC News projects.
Emergency room physician Eyolfson's win over incumbent Morantz in Winnipeg West marks the third consecutive race between the two candidates, after Morantz previously unseated Eyolfson in the 2019 election and won again by a small margin in 2021.
Winnipeg Centre NDP MP Leah Gazan has also been projected re-elected in her riding — so far the only candidate from her party to get a seat in Manitoba, after Dance lost her seat to Reynolds, the same challenger she recently beat in a 2024 byelection.
The Conservative party will also hold on to five rural Manitoba strongholds, while the Liberals will keep four Winnipeg seats they held going into the election, CBC is projecting.
Manitoba will send a number of new MPs to Ottawa — including Liberal candidate Ginette Lavack, former executive director of Festival du Voyageur and the Franco-Manitoban Cultural Centre, who has been projected to win in St. Boniface-St. Vital, where there was no incumbent after former Liberal MP Dan Vandal announced he would not seek re-election.
In a speech to Lavack's supporters Monday night, Vandal described Lavack as a natural fit for her new role.
"When I made the decision not to run again, it was really important for all of us that my replacement be somebody that's very good," he said.
In her acceptance speech, Lavack thanked Vandal, her volunteers and her voters.
"This is an incredible night, and I'm deeply honoured and humbled to be standing here in front of you as your newly elected representative of St. Boniface-St. Vital," she said. "The real work starts now."
Other new faces projected to head to Ottawa include Conservative Reynolds in Elmwood-Transcona, who did not speak to media following his win, and former MLA Grant Jackson — who resigned from a provincial seat to run federally, and is set to represent Brandon-Souris after former MP Larry Maguire announced he would not seek re-election.
Jackson said he'll do parts of the job differently than Maguire, who has been a mentor to him.
"I don't think that constituents will feel that there's a huge change in their representation," he said.
Some of Jackson's goals for his first term as MP will be to advocate for upgrades to the Brandon Municipal Airport and to push for more mining projects in the area, he said.
Other rural Conservatives projected to hold onto their seats in Manitoba Conservative strongholds are Branden Leslie in Portage-Lisgar, Ted Falk in Provencher, Dan Mazier in Riding Mountain and James Bezan in Selkirk-Interlake-Eastman.
