Gambo sends Jonathan Rowe (Conservative Party of Canada) to the Commons from Terra Nova—The Peninsulas

From Newfoundland and Labrador come 7 MPs, 4 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada. In the census’s list of municipalities, Gambo is a town. No open list of councils exists in Newfoundland and Labrador, so no mayor of Gambo is named here. The House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador’s riding map is published without a licence, so this page doesn’t place Gambo in a riding.

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
  • Not on this page. Band councils, municipal budgets and party control are left out; most councils sit without parties anyway.
  • Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
  • Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
