Electoral history of Mackenzie Bowell

This article is the Electoral history of Sir Mackenzie Bowell, the fifth Prime Minister of Canada.

Bowell served a short term of just over one year as prime minister (1894-1896), until he was forced to resign over the Manitoba Schools Question.

Bowell ranks nineteenth out of twenty-three prime ministers for time in office, serving a short term of just over one year (December 1894-April, 1896).

Bowell stood for election to the House of Commons of Canada eight times, all in the constituency of Hastings North, Ontario.

Bowell is one of two prime ministers who sat in the Senate during his term in office, rather than in the House of Commons.

[2] Powell stood for election to the House of Commons eight times, winning all eight (1867, 1872, 1874, 1878 (twice), 1882, 1887, and 1891), in the riding of Hastings North, Ontario.

In late 1892, Bowell was called to the Senate on the advice of Prime Minister Thompson.

Following his resignation as prime minister in 1896, Bowell continued to serve in the Senate until his death in 1917.
