Early Votes Surge in The Pas-Kameesak Byelection | Winnipeg News

Early voting in The Pas-Kameesak byelection is surging—with over 1,700 ballots already cast, far outpacing the typical 30-50% turnout seen in mid-summer byelections. Four candidates are vying for the seat vacated by late NDP MP Amanda Lathlin: Keystone’s Wally Daudrich, NDP’s Jennifer Flett, PC’s Edna Nabess, and Liberal Dan Quesnel. With the NDP’s recent dominance in the riding, this race could be pivotal. Locally, residents are rallying around urgent needs: mental health, addiction support, housing, and a new health clinic—currently slated for 2030, which many see as too late. Mayor Andre Murphy is urging high turnout, stressing that every vote matters. Daudrich, a former PC turned Keystone with local clout, could disrupt the Conservative campaign by drawing votes away from their candidate. The results are expected soon—and could signal a shift in regional politics. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
