Oswald won Minto (19) and St James (13)
Selinger won Point Douglas (34)

Friday: *Brandon East (13), Brandon West (9) and *St. Johns (20)
* - NDP held seat

I don't really care wins. Most likely who ever wins will resign as party leader once the party is destroyed next April. I expect Oswald to lose her seat, Selinger might keep his seat, and Ashton will probably keep his seat.

Monday's results:
Ashton wins Interlake (14) and Modern-Winkler (5)

Ashton 124
Oswald 105
Selinger 34 

Tuesday: *Gimli (15), Charleswood (6), Lakeside (5) and Tuxedo (13)

Selinger has a chance at Gimli with Cabinet Minister Peter Bjornson supporting him.


Wednesday:*Dawson Trail (6), Arthur-Virden (6), La Verendrye (5), Sprucewoods (5)  and Steinbach (5)
Thursday: *Fort Richmond (18) and *Kildonan (21)
Friday: *Brandon East (13), Brandon West (9) and *St. Johns (20)
* - NDP held seat
