Cariboo-Prince George was painted blue for another term following Monday’s Federal Election.
Todd Doherty retained his seat on Parliament Hill, winning the Cariboo-Prince George riding with over 50 per cent of the votes.

Winning his third consecutive seat in Ottawa, Zimmer managed to open an early lead and didn’t look back as polls began reporting their results after closing.
