Rural Manitobans swing against Liberals in 1997 Manitoba results
Rural Manitobans helped reduce the Liberal presence from 12 of 14 Manitoba seats to six, all but one in Winnipeg. David Iftody survived in Provencher amid a split conservative vote, while Liberals lost rural ridings Brandon Souris Dauphin Swan River and Selkirk Interlake to Reform and NDP gains in urban Winnipeg. Howard Hilstrom won Selkirk Interlake for Reform and Jake Hoeppner held Portage Lisgar for Reform. Jon Gerrard, a Liberal minister, was defeated.
