He lost his own Halifax-area seat of Cole Harbour-Portland Valley as the NDP were relegated to third-party status with seven elected members.
The Liberals took 33 of the legislature’s 51 seats in last Tuesday’s vote, while the Progressive Conservatives won 11 ridings to form the official Opposition.
Dexter says he plans to meet with premier-designate Stephen McNeil to discuss the transition.
