Going back to Queen's Park from the riding of Nipissing is the former North Bay Mayor Vic Fedeli.  

He won out over the Ontario New Democratic Party candidate, but by less of a margin than he did last time. 

Fedeli won in spite of a lot of support for local labour leader Henri Giroux of the NDP.

Many feel Fedeli could be the Finance Minister in the Doug Ford government.

The Nipissing incumbent MPP is celebrating a win after predicting a PC majority government early Thursday and this time he will not be a member of the opposition party.

"To me, the people of Nipissing wanted to see a PC majority. They knew how important it was to have a strong voice at Doug Ford's table and they knew I would be one of the strong voices in the north. Nipissing delivered and now it's my turn to deliver for Nipissing." said Fedeli.

As for the other candidates, they say while they're disappointed not to have won, it's time to hold the PC's accountable to their promises.

"You always try to go for the top right? But anyways, we have four years of conservatives and we have four years to make sure they do what they said they were going to do." said Giroux.

The Nipissing Liberal candidate is Stephen Glass.

"I am deeply disappointed that voters chose to put a party in power that refused to put out a costed platform, but now they'll have to put out a costed platform as the government of Ontario and I hope Ontarians are not disappointed with what they discover." said Glass.

And as for the feeling today around North Bay:

"I don't have much use for Mr.Fedeli, nor Mr. Ford, but hey, the people voted what the people voted. You know six-million people seven-million people in Toronto, the rest of us don't matter." said one resident.

"To be completely honest, I think the province was ready for a change. Whether the change that they chose was the one we wanted in the long run. We will see what Ford can do." said another.

As for Vic Fedeli, he says he's not sure whether he will land a cabinet position, but says he will work in any capacity Premier Doug Ford asks.
