Early byelection tallies are rolling in. Will Liberals, Tories hold seats?
Global News
Voters cast their ballots in four ridings spread across Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba, with each race posing different challenges to the federal parties.
Results began rolling in Monday night for four federal byelections that will determine the makeup of the House of Commons, and early tallies as of 11 p.m. Eastern appear to suggest the Liberals and Conservatives could each hold onto the two seats they already have.
As pollsters predicted, some of the races appeared tighter than in past elections, which means the final results may not be known until Tuesday morning.
Global News has not declared any of the races, with Elections Canada still treating the early results as preliminary.
Here’s where the vote counts stand in each riding as of 11 p.m. Eastern:
People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier’s appears to be trailing in his bid to rejoin the House of Commons.
As of Monday night, Conservative candidate and former Parliament Hill staffer Branden Leslie had a commanding lead over all challengers, earning about two-thirds of the vote in early counting.
In the last federal election, Bernier’s candidate got nearly 22 per cent of the vote in Portage-Lisgar. Prominent Conservative Candice Bergen still won with more than half the vote. She announced last fall she was stepping down after serving as interim party leader.
