WINNIPEG — Voters in part of western Winnipeg go to the polls Tuesday in a byelection that one political analyst says could serve as an indicator for the provincial election slated for next October.
The suburban area has traditionally voted Tory, but swung to the NDP in 2007 and 2011 — the last elections in which the New Democrats were polling as high as they are now. The Progressive Conservative candidate is Kevin Klein, a former city councillor who brings with him a base of support from his municipal days. The NDP candidate is Logan Oxenham, a juvenile correctional officer who is the only major party candidate who lives in the constituency.
The Liberals hold three of the 57 legislature seats and are not competitive with the Tories and NDP in provincewide elections. However, they have posted strong showings in byelections, where their smaller ranks of volunteers can focus on one race and compete with the larger parties.
