1999 Manitoba general election

Template:Infobox election The 1999 Manitoba general election was held on September 21, 1999 to elect Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Manitoba, Canada.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The New Democratic Party (NDP) was returned to government after sitting in opposition since the 1988 election.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The NDP won 32 seats, against 24 for the Progressive Conservative Party.<ref name=":0" /> The Manitoba Liberal Party won one seat.<ref name=":0" />

The Manitoba PC Party declined in popularity due to unpopular budget cuts on the healthcare system, social programs, and civil servants. The budget cuts on Public Service employees resulted in "Filmon Fridays" where civil servants had to take 10 unpaid days off each year. A vote splitting scandal has also hurt the Manitoba PC Party's reputation when the Independent Native Voice Party was claimed to be funded by the PC Caucus in attempt to take away votes from the NDP during the 1995 election.
