History

The electoral district was created in 1914 from Winnipeg riding and first contested at the 1917 election.

In 1976, it was abolished when it was redistributed into Provencher, Winnipeg—Assiniboine and Winnipeg—Fort Garry ridings.

In 1987, it was re-created from Winnipeg—Assiniboine and Winnipeg—Fort Garry and contested at the 1988 election.

Some observes expected Winnipeg South to be a close race in 2011,[3] though these predictions were later proven wrong. This race was very close in 2006, between Liberal incumbent Reg Alcock and Conservative challenger Rod Bruinooge. Bruinooge won by just 111 votes. Bruinooge's victory in 2008 was much more comfortable, having won by nearly 6,000 votes. His challenger was Liberal Party activist and former city councillor Terry Duguid.

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