Both of the former ridings voted PC in 2010.
Candidate Jody Carr won the newly formed riding with 42 per cent of the vote in 2014, defeating Liberal candidate Trisha Hoyt, who earned 35 per cent of the vote.
2010
Fredericton-Lincoln elected Tory candidate Craig Leonard in 2010, which saw him defeat the former business minister and Liberal incumbent Greg Byrne.
Leonard won with 39.6 per cent of the vote while Greg Byrne earned 36 per cent.
The riding of Ormocto has consistently voted PC since Jody Carr was first elected in 1999. He won the seat again in 2003, 2006 and 2010.
In 2010 Carr earned 81.2 per cent of the vote, easily defeating the Liberal and NDP candidates.
