Winnipeg South

The electoral district was created in 1914 from parts of the ridings of Winnipeg, Provencher, and Macdonald. It first elected a Member of Parliament in 1917.

In 1976, it was abolished when it was redistributed into the ridings of Winnipeg—Assiniboine and Winnipeg—Fort Garry, which took effect at the election of 1979.

In 1987, it was re-created from parts of Winnipeg—Assiniboine and Winnipeg—Fort Garry, which were abolished, and has been contested since 1988.

Some observers expected Winnipeg South to be a close race in 2011,[https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/manitoba-s-battleground-ridings-are-in-winnipeg-experts-say-1.623352 CTV.ca] though these predictions were later proven wrong. This race was close in 2006, when Conservative challenger Rod Bruinooge defeated four-term Liberal incumbent Reg Alcock by just 111 votes. In 2008, Bruinooge improved his plurality to nearly 6,000 votes. His Liberal challenger was businessperson, party activist, and former Winnipeg City Council member Terry Duguid.

This riding lost territory to Winnipeg South Centre and Saint Boniface—Saint Vital, and gained territory from the latter, during the 2012 electoral redistribution. Bruinooge chose not to contest the 2015 election, and Duguid won the seat for the Liberal Party.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding will lose the neighbourhood of Minnetonka to St. Boniface—St. Vital and the neighbourhoods of Whyte Ridge and Linden Ridge to Winnipeg South Centre. These changes will come into effect upon the calling of the 2025 Canadian federal election.

This riding has elected the following members of the House of Commons:
