Wab Kinew wins seat

NDP Leader Wab Kinew has again sewn up his Fort Rouge riding.

Kinew was ahead early and built a lead of nearly 3,000 votes over Tory candidate Rejeanne Caron, who was frequently the face of attacks that he would be soft on crime.

Kinew was first elected in the riding in 2016.
