Two Winnipeg city councillors acclaimed ahead of upcoming election

Two Winnipeg city councillors will be returning to city hall after the election as nobody registered to challenge for their seats.

Councillors Markus Chambers, who represents the St. Norbert-Seine River ward, and Devi Sharma, who represents the Old Kildonan ward, will both be acclaimed as city councillors.

Chambers was first elected as city councillor during the 2018 election, while Sharma has held the seat in Old Kildonan since 2010.

The remaining 13 council seats are up for grabs during the Oct. 26 election.
