First Nations vote could affect outcome of provincial election, chief says | CBC News
Indigenous votes could make or break next week's provincial election, a New Brunswick First Nations chief says.
www.cbc.caHere’s a concise update on the New Brunswick provincial election, based on the most recent publicly available reporting.
- The Liberals won a majority in the 49-seat legislature, with Susan Holt set to become the province’s first female premier. This outcome was widely projected on election night and confirmed by multiple outlets as results came in.[1][3]
- Primary challengers included Blaine Higgs and the Progressive Conservative Party, which were unable to secure enough seats to form government, with Higgs losing in his riding in several early tallies.[3][1]
- Voter turnout was reported around the mid-60s percentage range in initial reports, aligning with typical provincial election participation, though exact figures varied by riding as results were finalized.[1]
