Former St. Boniface-St. Vital Liberal MP Dan Vandal watched election polls with cautious optimism at Fort Gibraltar Monday evening.
“I think (Liberal candidate Ginette Lavack is) passionate, she’s qualified and she’s anchored in the community and that’s what you need to represent the constituency,” Vandal said as results began rolling in.
The venue at Whittier Park was the site of Lavack’s election watch party. Dozens of Lavack’s family and supporters mingled around tables decorated with miniature Canada flags and Liberal red napkins while live election coverage buzzed on a projector.
Vandal’s entrance at Fort Gibraltar was met with applause from guests.
The longtime politician announced last year he was retiring from politics and would not seek re-election.
After polls in Manitoba closed, guests cheered on as Liberal candidates flashed across the screen during live results coverage and let out “boos” when the projector showed Conservative candidates.
