Voters in the Manitoba riding of Portage-Lisgar have elected Conservative Branden Leslie to the House of Commons, CBC News projects.
Four new MPs are set to be elected to the House of Commons in a stream of closely watched byelections.
Bernier chose to run in the riding because it's one where the People's Party performed best in the COVID-era 2021 federal election. The party's electoral future is in question after Bernier's poor showing. The riding, long held by former interim Conservative leader Candice Bergen, is among the safest Conservative seats in the country.
