The Liberals under Susan Holt have won the majority of seats in the New Brunswick election.
At 9 p.m., with 80 per cent of the polls reporting, the Liberals were leading 31 ridings, the Progressive Conservatives were leading in 16 and the Greens were leading in two ridings.
Just before 9 p.m., CBC projected wins for Holt and Green Party Leader David Coon, who both ran for Fredericton seats, but PC Leader Blaine Higgs lost his Quispamsis riding to Liberal Aaron Kennedy.
I’m looking forward to this change in direction. I also get deep satisfaction seeing Blaine lose in his own riding. It couldn’t have been any clearer that NB is tired of his “my way or the highway”, hateful, and divisive approach.
