Liberals hold Sudbury riding as Viviane Lapointe re-elected to second term
Viviane Lapointe has been voted into a second term as the Liberal MP for Sudbury.
With more than half of polls now reporting, CBC News is projecting her as the winner with over 50 per cent of the vote.
Conservative candidate Ian Symington is a few thousand votes behind her in second place, with New Democrat Nadia Verrelli coming a distant third.
Historically, the Sudbury riding has been a Liberal stronghold since its inception in the late 1940s.
Sudbury voters have only deviated from Liberal candidates on three occasions. The first was when the NDP's Bud Germa was elected in 1967.
Glenn Thibeault, also an NDP candidate at the federal level, was elected twice in 2008 and 2011.
Viviane Lapointe is the incumbent, having been elected in 2021. She was preceded by Paul Lefebvre, Sudbury's current mayor, who also ran as a Liberal.
