The Conservatives have won the newly-named Acadia-Annapolis riding, formerly known as West Nova.
This means incumbent Chris D’Entrement has landed a third term, beating out Ronnie LeBlanc with the Liberals.
This is his first time running in the newly distributed riding of Acadie-Annapolis, having served in West Nova for the past six years, first elected in 2019.
D’Entrement tells our newsroom, the base issues will remain the same.
“Affordability. For us, it’s the fishery. It’s housing. Once we got into the election, then we were able to get a little bit more momentum of what was going on,” says D’Entrement.
He walked into a watch party in Digby to cheers from his friends, family and supporters.
“Really, I worry I’m going to forget to thank someone. Because I don’t do this alone. It’s a cast of hundreds to able to pull off a federal election. I can’t do this all myself. I’m very grateful and I owe them a lot,” says D’Entrement.
We are still waiting on results from a number of polls, so these numbers are subject to change.

Liberal Sean Fraser won the riding of Central Nova which encompasses Pictou County, the municipality of the District of St. Mary’s and sections of HRM.
Fraser and Conservative candidate Brycen Jenkins were neck and neck for most of Monday night, until Fraser pulled out the win.
Fraser threw his hat back in the ring after stepping away from federal politics in December to spend more time with family.
A phone call from Prime Minister Mark Carney changed his mind, even after a Liberal candidate was already selected.

Sean Fraser, Liberals (incumbent): 25, 612
Brycen Jenkins, Conservatives: 21, 201
Jesiah MacDonald, New Democratic Party: 1, 621
