The only Winnipeg riding too close to call until the end was Elmwood-Transcona.
The race here was a competition between the NDP and Conservatives.
It came down to the final polls, and by a 51 vote difference, rookie politician Daniel Blaikie beat out incumbent Conservative candidate Lawrence Toet.
Daniel Blaikie said he's ready to bring change to the riding and is happy Canadians voted for change.
Conservative candidate Lawrence Toet said he's proud of the support he received this campaign. He said the final results will be known tomorrow as to whether or not a recount is needed in this riding.
A recount would occur if the total vote difference is less than one one-thousandth of the total ballots cast.
Daniel's father, Bill, was first elected to represent the area in 1979. He became MP for Elmwood-Transcona in 1988, and held the riding until he retired in 2008.
"(I’m) very proud of Daniel, always have been, but I’m extra proud of him tonight and I think that when he gets to Ottawa, he’s going to be one heck of an MP," said Bill. "I think they will come to be very proud of their representative."
Last election, the Conservatives took Elmwood-Transcona away from the NDP in a tight race when Tory Lawrence Toet beat out incumbent New Democrat Jim Malloway by 300 votes.
“We worked hard for the whole campaign and had a great team that put in 100 per cent of effort," said Toet.
Other candidates in the riding include Green Party’s Kim Parke and Liberal Andrea Richardson-Lipon.
"I would like to congratulate Daniel, Lawrence and Kim for running excellent campaigns,” said Richardson-Lipon. “While the results were not in our favour, Elmwood-Transcona residents came out in great numbers looking for change.”
