Manitoba Ndp: Prince Edward Island

Member Legislature Dept: Beginning with Stephen Harper's federal victory in May, his first majority in three tries, incumbent governments were also returned earlier this week in Prince Edward Island Liberal and Manitoba NDP , according to CBC. The next test in this hyperactive election season is Newfoundland and Labrador on Tuesday followed by Saskatchewan on Nov. 7 and though he fell just short of a majority, Dalton McGuinty's somewhat surprising come-from-behind election win in Ontario caps a pretty good electoral year for incumbents. Throw in Monday's election in the Northwest Territories, where only one of the 15 incumbents running was defeated just five of the 19-member legislature will be new faces , and you might be forgiven for thinking incumbency is the magic key to staying in office these days.
