The governing New Democratic Party closed 2024 with an $835,000 surplus. The NDP’s financial position gives it a clear advantage in planning for the next provincial election, which must take place by 2027.

Overview

  • The New Democratic Party closed 2024 with an $835,000 surplus, according to financial filings with Elections Manitoba.
  • The Progressive Conservative Party reduced its debt from over $1 million in 2023 to $689,000 by the end of 2024 but remains in a challenging financial position.
  • The PCs raised just $57,000 in 2024, less than half of the $125,000 raised by the NDP, reflecting significant disparities in fundraising capacity.
  • Key PC expenditures included $180,000 on interest, legal, and bank fees, and $200,000 on IT, leaving the party with limited liquid assets aside from $89,000 in fixed assets.
  • With its financial surplus, the NDP is better positioned for campaign planning and outreach ahead of the 2027 provincial election, while the PCs face hurdles in organizing and policy promotion.
