The 32-day election campaign fought largely on jobs, as voters in New Brunswick decide between a Liberal plan to turn the economy around through government stimulus or a Progressive Conservative promise to allow greater development of the province’s natural resources. The Tories and Liberals are the dominant forces in New Brunswick politics and the choices offered by the two main parties on the economy are vastly different.
Alward and Gallant each won their their respective seats – Alward was elected in his riding of Carleton and Gallant was elected in his riding of Shediac Bay-Dieppe. NDP leader Dominic Cardy lost his seat in Fredericton West-Hanwell and announced his resignation following the loss.
