Dave Epp will once again be the Member of Parliament (MP) for Chatham-Kent-Leamington.
He was re-elected during Monday's federal election, however, his win wasn't enough to help the Conservative Party of Canada form government.
Epp told reporters his mandate wasn't going to change no matter who won the election.
"That is to take the voices that I've been given the privilege to represent to Ottawa," he said.
Despite this, Epp noted he was disappointed with the overall results.
"Nationally, that's not the result we were hoping for but that's democracy. The people have spoken and the people are right, the people are always right," he explained.
Epp beat out four other candidates. They were Keith Pickard with the Liberal Party of Canada, the NDP's Seamus McInnis Fleming, Trevor Lee with the People's Party of Canada (PPC), and the Green Party of Canada's James Plunkett.
"Democracy only works when you have a choice so I congratulate and thank four other individuals for putting their names on the ballot," added Epp.
This is the third time Epp has been elected as the riding's MP. He was first elected in 2019 and again in 2021.
