Polls are now closed in Nova Scotia and eyes are on the South Shore -St. Margaret’s riding.

Incumbent Rick Perkins is looking to secure a second term, but so far early results show him neck and neck alongside the Liberal’s Jessica Fancy-Landry.

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.

Conservative Brycen Jenkins has now taken the lead over former MP Liberal Sean Fraser.

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.
