As of Elections Canada’s update at 1:18 A-M today, Aitchison is in first with 47.7 percent of the vote. He says he’s already hard at work.

“It (the work) started this morning (by) calling some of my liberal colleagues that will be forming the government and talking about some of the issues that we need to address. So, it starts right away,” Aitchison tells the My Parry Sound Now Newsroom on Tuesday.

Liberal candidate Jovanie Nicoyishakiye comes second with 21.5 percent, the NDP’s Heather Hay is third with 16.9 percent.
