Manitoba NDP, Kevin Chief (Point Douglas) resigned his seat back in December.
I don't think his resignation is official yet.

I've been keeping a running tally, as each poll report. (Finding the gain in votes for each party as each poll came in)
It looks like the Liberals manage to win at least 5 polls, most likely a few more since there in cases where I received more than 1 polls at time.
It look like the PCs manage to win one poll. (Most likely the one they won in the last election, in South Point Douglas)
In one poll there was almost a three way tie (PC and LIB 24 votes, NDP 23 votes)

Latest Results: 46/47 Polls

NDP 1,282 (41.9%)
LIB 943 (30.8%)
PC 504 (16.4%)
Manitoba 173 (5.6%)
Green130 (4.2%)
Comm. 26 (0.8%)

Turnout at 28.6%

Final Poll is in (most likely the advance poll, with 401 votes, NDP got 62.8% in that poll)

MB 181 (5.2%)
Green 147 (4.2%)
