WINNIPEG — Manitoba's election has been called for Oct. 3. Here are some of the races to watch: Southdale — Currently held by Audrey Gordon, the Progressive Conservative health minister.
Southdale — Currently held by Audrey Gordon, the Progressive Conservative health minister. She won this south Winnipeg seat by fewer than 500 votes in 2019, and may be in for a tough battle now that the NDP are riding higher in opinion polls. The New Democrats have given a high profile to their candidate, Renee Cable, at recent press conferences and events. The Liberals have nominated former member of Parliament Robert-Falcon Ouellette, who previously ran for mayor.
St. Boniface — Held by Liberal Leader Dougald Lamont since a 2018 byelection, this seat was previously won by the NDP. Recent opinion polls have suggested Liberal support in Manitoba has dropped while the NDP's has risen, so this may be a tighter race this time. Lamont faces the NDP's Robert Loiselle and Kirt Hayer for the Tories.
Selkirk — This seat was held by the NDP for 26 years before Tory Alan Lagimodiere won it in 2016. Lagimodiere is not running again. The field this time includes Richard Perchotte for the Tories and Mitch Obach for the NDP.
