    "Tonight, the Manitoba NDP is going to rock the house," Kinew says.

    The new provincial leader thanks outgoing Premier Heather Stefanson, who has announced she will step down as PC leader.

    "I want to thank you for service to our province and country," he says. "You were the first woman premier of Manitoba, and I look forward to working with you on an orderly transition as we stand up Manitoba's next government."

    11:04 p.m.

    "This is a great victory for us. This is a great victory for all of us in Manitoba," he says. "Wow, Manitoba. My dear sweet Manitoba. Look at what we have done here tonight."

    Kinew makes his victory speech, reiterating his party's promises to address problems in the province's healthcare system, including his promise to build new emergency rooms.

    "For all the people out there who work in healthcare, we need you," Kinew says.

    Manitoba NDP Leader Wab Kinew speaks to supporters shortly after his party was projected to form government following the election on Oct. 3, 2023.

    11:00 p.m.

    In a statement, Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham congratulates Premier-elect Wab Kinew.

    "I am optimistic about what we can achieve for our city and our province," the statement reads, saying he is eager to work closely with the new provincial government.

    "With mutual respect, open dialogue, and common priorities, I am confident we can achieve great progress in the years to come."

    10:58 p.m.

    Elections Manitoba says votes are still being counted and results reported to them, but it is having trouble getting the results out. Elections Manitoba is looking into what has happened with its data and website. The CTV News Decision Desk says this is an unusual situation, and one reason for why results are rolling in slower than anticipated.

    10:09 p.m.

    Speaking to CTV News about the split of the vote in Manitoba, panellist Royce Koop says the Tories have not dropped a huge amount of votes.

    "They are not far behind the NDP, but what we see in Winnipeg is the NDP winning in every single seat except for maybe three, or four, or five," he says.

    "This story tonight I think is not a story of Tory collapse. Tories are actually holding onto their votes. What it is, is it is a story of the electoral system and the NDP having an extraordinarily efficient vote in this election."

    Unfortunately, not having a strong Green or even a strong Liberal option, really does narrow the opportunities we have as citizens of Manitoba to have our own voices heard and respected."
