The Manitoba Party is a defunct provincial political party. It was registered by Elections Manitoba on August 27, 2019, and originally called the Manitoba Forward Party.[1]

On December 22, 2020, the party changed its name from the Manitoba Forward Party to the Manitoba Party.[2]

The party leader was Wayne Sturby, who was previously part of the former Manitoba Party until it was taken over by Steven Fletcher and later rebranded as Manitoba First.[3][4] Sturby has also been involved with the People's Party of Canada, unsuccessfully running as their candidate in Provencher in 2019.[5]

The party failed to nominate any candidates in the 2023 election,[6] and was deregistered by Elections Manitoba on October 10, 2023.[7][8]
