Liberal Kim Rudd has won the riding of Northumberland-Peterborough South for the Liberals.

Rudd pulled out a narrow victory over Conservative Adam Moulton to win this new riding, newly created for the 2015 race. Redistributed results from 2011 would have rendered this a Conservative blowout, winning by nearly 18,000 votes, although recent polls showed the race as too close to call.
