Polls have closed in Nova Scotia and some early results are starting to roll in.

The newly-named Acadie-Annapolis, formerly known as West Nova has Conservative incumbent Chris D’Entrement trying for a third term.

He has an early lead.

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.

In the South Shore -St. Margaret’s riding.

Perkins has been in the role since 2021.

Also, notable is the riding of Central Nova which encompasses Pictou County, the municipality of the District of St. Mary’s and sections of HRM.

Former Federal Housing Minister, Sean 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.

Fraser so far, is also leading.
