Leah Gazan will represent the NDP in Winnipeg Centre in the fall's federal election after a nomination meeting that attracted more than 900 NDP supporters Sunday. More than 900 people showed up to Sunday's meeting to vote for the candidate they wanted to represent the NDP in the Winnipeg Centre riding in the federal election. "It's a great sign that the NDP are going to win back Winnipeg centre," Swan said. Richard Lennon, chair of the NDP riding association for Winnipeg Centre, said it was an incredible turnout, especially given that the riding's NDP membership had just 350 people in January. The federal election will be held Oct. 21.
