Progressive Conservative incumbent Vic Fedeli has secured a fifth straight term as Nipissing MPP.
The unofficial results gave him 55% of the ballot, as he finished 9,600 votes ahead of the NDP’s Loren Mick.
“I’m honoured to be returned as MPP for the fifth time with my biggest win as MPP in all five terms,” says Fedeli. “Very excited for Nipissing. We’re going to keep delivery for them every day.”
The Liberal’s Liam McGarry was third followed by Colton Chaput with the Green party in fourth.
Libertarian Michelle Lashbrook was fifth and Scott Mooney with the Ontario Party was sixth.
Fedeli says the work starts right away.
“[Friday] morning, 7:30, I’ll be off to Toronto for interprovincial trade meetings with my counterparts from across the country and the federal government because we’re in an economic war with Donald Trump,” he says.
Provincially, the Conservatives have won a third straight majority government.
The PC’s are elected or leading in 80 ridings, down from the 83 they won in 2022, but still far more than needed for a majority government.
The NDP also won fewer seats, at 27, but the party is still the official opposition.
The big winner was the Liberal party, jumping to 14 victories, enough to reach official party status at Queen’s Park.
Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie didn’t win her seat in Mississauga, but has vowed to stay on as party leader.
The Green Party won two ridings, and one went to an independent candidate.
With incoming U.S. tariffs, Ford called the election last month saying the government needed a strong mandate to coincide, and deal with US President Donald Trump’s term south of the border.
North Bay was in the provincial spotlight on Feb. 14.
The Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities (FONOM) hosted the leaders of the four major parties for a debate on northern issues.
Elections Ontario says just over 5,100 people in Nipissing, or nearly 8% of registered voters in the riding, cast a ballot in the three days of advance polls.
