The results of Manitoba’s 43rd general election are now official, Elections Manitoba said.
The result of the Oct. 3 election were finalized Friday.
The NDP won 34 seats in Manitoba’s legislative assembly, while the Progressive Conservatives won 22 and the Liberals one.

Elections Manitoba said 488,979 ballots were cast out of 884,853 registered voters.
NDP Leader Wab Kinew’s cabinet will be sworn in on Wednesday, it was announced Friday.
None of the candidates won by a slim enough margin to require a mandatory recount. The deadline to apply for a recount is Thursday. If no applications are made, the chief electoral officer will declare the candidates elected the next day, on Oct. 20.
Elections Manitoba said 488,979 ballots were cast out of 884,853 registered voters. Turnout across the province was 55 per cent, the same as in the last provincial election.
Elections Manitoba announced the final results of the 2019 general election after a week. The wait for this year’s results was 10 days. Elections Manitoba determined earlier this year that results would be released on Oct. 13.
Earlier this week, the office refused to explain why it would take longer to release results compared with 2019, other than to say Thanksgiving was a factor in choosing the date.
Elections Manitoba is the independent office of the legislative assembly responsible for the administration of provincial elections and byelections.
