This election was the first to be held in Manitoba after a comprehensive electoral redistribution in 1956 . The redistribution saw the city of Winnipeg abandon its multi-member ridings for single-member constituencies, and gain increased representation in the legislature. It resulted in a minority victory for the Progressive Conservative Party under the leadership of Dufferin Roblin . Roblin's Tories won twenty-six seats, while Premier Douglas Campbell 's Liberal-Progressives were reduced to second-place status with nineteen. The Social Democratic Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) held the balance of power with eleven seats, and independent Stephen Juba was also elected in Winnipeg. Both Social Credit and the Labour Progressive Party lost their legislative representation. After the election, the Liberal-Progressives attempted to form a coalition with the CCF to remain in power. The CCF rejected this offer, and allowed Roblin's Tories to form government. Although the Progressive Conservatives had been part of a Coalition Government from 1940 to 1950 , this was the first time since 1915 that they had formed an admistration on their own. This minority parliament proved unstable, and Roblin's government was defeated in the legislature in early 1959. Manitobans returned to the polls shortly thereafter. RESULTS
