Tough race for unsuccessful contenders in federal byelection
Tonight’s early results in the federal byelection for the Battlefords-Lloydminster riding appear to have paved the way for a landslide victory for Conservative candidate Rosemarie Falk, to replace long-serving Conservative MP Gerry Ritz who announced his retirement during the summer.
Falk said travelling throughout the riding and listening to people may have benefitted her in doing so well in the race.
She said she has been “reassuring people” she met that “she is here to serve them,” which she believes has probably helped her in the race.
Some of the contenders in the race appear to have had a hard challenge trying to overcome the Conservative stronghold over the riding.
