Manitoba general election, 1973

Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAN : Manitoba general election, 1973

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 Citizen's 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.
