Kinew led his party to a majority government in Tuesday’s election. But just how large of a majority is still being calculated.
As of Wednesday, the NDP had won 30 seats — 29 of the 57 seats in the legislative assembly are required for a majority. The Progressive Conservatives had 19 seats to become the Official Opposition and the Liberals had one.
Another seven ridings remain too close to call with out-of-district advance votes still trickling in. The NDP lead in four of those and the PCs in three.
