Kudos to the people of Portage-Lisgar who drove voter turnout to an impressive 67.96 percent compared to the dismal 66.2 percent in 2021.

Incumbant Brenden Leslie won 69.5 percent of the vote compared to previous incumbant Candice Bergen who won 52.5 percent of the vote in 2021.

The following states are for the 2025 election: Liberal candidate Robert Kreis received 22.7 percent of the vote; NDP candidate Lisa Tessier received 4.4 percent of the vote; PPC candidate Kevin Larson received 2.1 percent of the vote; and Green candidate Janine Gibson received 1.3 percent of the vote.

For the sake of comparison in the 2021 election: PPC candidate received 21.6 percent of the vote; NDP candidate received 13.4 percent of the vote; Liberal candidate received 11 percent of the vote; and CHP candidate received 1.6 percent of the vote.

Interesting note – if everyone who voted Liberal, Green and NDP in the 2021 election in Portage-Lisgar voted Liberal in the 2025 election the vote share would have been 24.4 – 4 percent less than the combined Liberal/NDP percentage of 28.4 percent in 2025 suggesting increased ingagement on the part of left leaning voters in Portage-Lisgar in this recent election.
