Federal election results from Waterloo Region and area

CTV News’ Decision Desk has declared the Liberals will win the 2021 federal election, with a minority government. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau will maintain power, at a pivotal time in the pandemic.

These local ridings have been declared by the CTV News’ Decision Desk:

•  Kitchener Centre: Mike Morrice (Green)
•  Cambridge: Bryan May (Liberal)
•  Waterloo: Bardish Chagger (Liberal)
•  Guelph: Lloyd Longfield (Liberal)
•  Brantford-Brant: Larry Brock (Conservative)
•  Haldimand-Norfolk: Leslyn Lewis (Conservative)
•  Perth-Wellington: John Nater (Conservative)
•  Wellington-Halton Hills: Michael Chong (Conservative)
•  Oxford: Dave MacKenzie (Conservative)

As of Wednesday morning, Kitchener South-Hespeler and Kitchener-Conestoga remained too close to call. However, Kitchener-Conestoga Conservative candidate Carlene Hawley said Tuesday she doesn’t expect to win the riding. In Kitchener South-Hespeler, Liberal candidate Valerie Bradshaw tweeted that she had won, and Conservative candidate Tyler Calver sent out a tweet saying he “fell a little short.” Elections Canada expects to have official results for those ridings later this week.
