| Elections Canada Elections Manitoba 2009 Manitoba NDP Premier S/election
The date for the next election in Manitoba, according to the Elections Act, will be in October 2011, four years after the previous province wide election. That means the NDP leader who replaces Mr. Doer as Premier of Manitoba will be in office until October 2011. Manitoba Wildlands sent a survey of environmental questions, mostly about lands, waters, and climate to each candidate for leader/premier. Mr. Ashton responded, Mr. Selinger did not.
On Saturday October 17, 2009 Greg Selinger was elected leader of the Manitoba New Democratic Party in a Winnipeg convention with satellites in both The Pas and Thompson, Manitoba. He was selected by an almost two to one margin, in a ballot with Steve Ashton. Mr. Selinger became Premier of Manitoba as a result of his election as Party leader. 2008 Federal Election2007 Manitoba Election PromisesManitoba Wildlands encourages other Manitoba civil society organizations to ask our political leaders questions relevant to the future of our province.
