Mayor Scott Gillingham has confirmed he will seek a second term as Winnipeg’s mayor.

While the City of Winnipeg election is not for another year, at least one current member of city council is planning to seek another term.

Mayor Scott Gillingham will seek a second term as mayor of Winnipeg in the 2026 municipal election.

An email from Colin Fast, the mayor’s director of communications, confirmed the decision to CTV News.

Gillingham was elected for his first term in 2022, winning 27.5 per cent of the vote among 11 candidates.

Prior to his election as mayor, Gillingham was councillor for the St. James ward from 2014 to 2022.

Election day is Oct. 28, 2026.
