New Brunswick election: Moncton East

PC Daniel Allain defeats Liberal incumbent in Moncton East riding in the 2020 election.

Riding background

The 2013 redistricting process created a new riding that shared the name of Moncton East, but dramatically reshaped the boundaries of the district.

The riding contains parts of the former ridings of Moncton East, Moncton Crescent, Dieppe Centre-Lewisville, Memramcook-Lakeville-Dieppe and Kent South.

The district of Moncton East includes the northeastern parts of the city of Moncton, as well as neighbouring suburban communities northeast of Moncton, stretching into the edge of Kent County.
