Herold Leonhard Driedger (March 28, 1942 – October 1, 2024)[1] was a politician in the Canadian province of Manitoba.
In the 1988 provincial election, he ran as a Liberal in Niakwa and defeated incumbent Progressive Conservative Abe Kovnats by 1354 votes.
[2] The Liberals increased their parliamentary representation from one to twenty in this election, and Driedger sat in the official opposition benches for the next two years.
In the 1990 election, he was defeated by Progressive Conservative candidate Louise Dacquay in the redistributed riding of Seine River by 47 votes,[3] amid a general loss of support for the Liberal Party.
In 1989-90, Driedger served as the first vice-president of the Canadian Council of Public Accountants (the president was Loyola Hearn, who was later a Conservative MP in the House of Commons of Canada).
