Wab Kinew is Manitoba’s new Premier-elect, carrying the NDP to a majority government in yesterday’s election.

The north retained its NDP seats.

Eric Redhead in Thompson, Tom Lindsey in Flin Flon, Ian Bushie in Keewatinook and Amanda Lathlin in The Pas-Kamasack will return to the Legislature as members of the party in power.

Kinew's win makes Manitoba the first Canadian province to elect a First Nations premier.

He thanked Heather Stefanson for her service as premier.

The PC leader announced she will step down as party leader, as did Liberal leader Dougald Lamont who lost his seat in St. Boniface.

The only remaining Liberal in the Manitoba Legislature is Cindy Lamoreux.
