Liberals hold Sudbury riding as Viviane Lapointe re-elected to second term
Riding has been a Liberal stronghold for decades, with only a handful of losses to the NDP
Viviane Lapointe has been voted into a second term as the Liberal MP for Sudbury.
She received just over half the vote, while Conservative Ian Symington fnished in second place with around 40 per cent of the vote. New Democrat Nadia Verrelli was a distant third.
"There is no question that this is the most consequential election in Canadian history," Lapointe said during her victory speech.
"Trump has been clear that he wants to annex us by economic force and to bring Canada to its knees. Mark Carney has one crystal clear word for him. Never."
Historically, the Sudbury riding has been a Liberal stronghold since its inception in the late 1940s.
Sudbury voters have only deviated from Liberal candidates on three occasions. The first was when the NDP's Bud Germa was elected in 1967.
Glenn Thibeault, also an NDP candidate at the federal level, was elected twice in 2008 and 2011.
Viviane Lapointe is the incumbent, having been elected in 2021. She was preceded by Paul Lefebvre, Sudbury's current mayor, who also ran as a Liberal.
