Leah Gazan has held her Winnipeg Centre seat in a tough battle with Liberal challenger Rahul Walia.

Gazan, an Indigenous and anti-poverty activist first elected in 2019, took nearly 40 per cent of the vote, five points more than Walia.

In winning Winnipeg Centre, Gazan kept true to the NDP record of always having at least one MP from Manitoba since the party was formed in 1961.
