Campbell wins for the NDP in Kenora-Rainy River

It was almost an NDP sweep of northern Ontario.

The New Democrats held onto the Kenora-Rainy River Riding and won at least three more.

Sarah Campbell topped the polls locally and says repeated visits by her party leader during the election certainly helped the campaign.

Meanwhile, Conservative candidate Rod McKay says he's disappointed that Ontario could have to endure four more years of Dalton McGuinty.

Liberal Candidate Anthony Leek finished well back in third place with just 10 percent of the vote, followed by Jo Jo Holiday of the Green Party and Charmaine Romaniuk from the Northern Ontario Heritage Party.
