Contextually it reads as Clark's riding.

I will clean up sentence and paragraph structure moving forward so you can understand it then.
People province wide just experienced what protest voting can bring. I suspect that will weigh very heavily on them this time around. Greg Clark, i believe, received many of those very votes instead of the NDP. Therefore, in conclusion, he may have difficulty repeating that kind of showing again because he will have no chance of being anything but part of the opposition....no matter who sits there.
It also could play out that people of Elbow liked what he did in his time as both MLA and party leader enough that he gleans all those same votes and maybe more. However he also has all those voters who did lose jobs/homes/businesses over the last 4 years and believe the way out of that is to go with the only party that can defeat the sitting regime which would realistically cost him votes from last time, and he is no longer the leader which will matter to some.
