Todd Doherty from the Conservative Party has won the riding of Cariboo–Prince George, Global News projects.
Doherty defeated Liberal Tracy Calogheros in a decisive victory, keeping the riding’s conservative streak alive. The federal riding has existed since 2004 and has only been represented by Conservative MPs.
In 2015, Doherty defeated Calogheros by fewer than 3,000 votes.
Calogheros was one of those candidates bolstered by the Trudeau wave that swept across many ridings. In 2011, Sangeeta Lalli, now Director of Political Operations for the Liberals, received 2,200 votes.
