REGINA – In one of the tightest races in the province NDP candidate Erin Weir edged out Conservative candidate Trent Fraser to become the new MP for the Regina-Lewvan riding.
Weir came out on top against Conservative candidate Trent Fraser, Liberal candidate Louis Browne, Green Party candidate Tamela Friesen and Libertarian candidate Wojciech Dolata.
This is a new seat created from the Regina-specific areas of Palliser (which elected Conservative MP Ray Boughen by 2.3 per cent in 2011) and Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre (which elected Conservative MP Tom Lukiwski by 17 per cent).
