Manitoba general election, 1973
Encyclopedia
The Manitoba General Election of June 28, 1973 was held to elect Members of the Legislative Assembly
of the Province of Manitoba
, Canada
. It was won by the social-democratic New Democratic Party
, which took 31 of 57 seats. The Progressive Conservative Party
finished second with 21, while the Manitoba Liberal Party
took the remaining five.
A right-of-centre municipal organization known as the Independent Citizens' Election Committee convinced the Progressive Conservative and Liberal parties to avoid competing against each other in certain Winnipeg-area ridings, such that a single "anti-socialist" alternative to the NDP could be offered. This campaign was generally unsuccessful.
Note:
* Party did not nominate candidates in previous election.
