Get ready, it's debate week — and other news from the campaign
Two weeks to go until votes are cast and two more days until five party leaders head to Riverview for the first debate of the New Brunswick provincial election.
www.cbc.caHere’s a quick update on the latest New Brunswick provincial election news based on recent public coverage:
- The Liberal Party won a majority government in the 2024 New Brunswick general election, with Susan Holt set to become premier and the first woman to hold the office in the province. This outcome was widely reported on election night as results came in and confirmed by major outlets.[1][3]
- Early results indicated Liberal leads in several key ridings, and post-election reporting highlighted the Liberals’ focus on health care and pocketbook issues in their campaign messaging. The Conservative party leadership, Blaine Higgs, saw his party lose seats, including his own in Quispamsis, signaling a leadership transition for the PCs.[1]
- National outlets and local Canadian news networks covered the results similarly, noting Trudeau’s congratulations to Susan Holt and the historic nature of the Liberal victory in New Brunswick.[1]
