Liberal-Progressive Party candidates in the 1953 Manitoba provincial election

The Manitoba Liberal-Progressive Party ran fifty candidates in the 1953 provincial election. Thirty-two of these candidates were elected, giving the party a majority government in the legislature. Many Liberal-Progressive candidates have their own biography pages; information on others may be found here.

The 1953 Manitoba election was determined by instant-runoff voting in most constituencies. Three constituencies (Winnipeg Centre, Winnipeg North and Winnipeg South) returned four members by the single transferable vote (STV), with a 20% quota for election. St. Boniface elected two members by STV, with a 33% quota. The Liberal-Progressives ran two candidates in St. Boniface and Winnipeg South, and three in Winnipeg Centre and Winnipeg North.

In addition to its fifty official candidates, the Liberal-Progressive Party also endorsed two candidates who ran as Independent Liberal-Progressives: Robert Bend in Rockwood and Rodney S. Clement in Russell. The only constituency where the party did not endorse a candidate was Swan River.
