Fitch says the party’s first priority is the byelection in the riding of Saint John East on Nov. 17.

Party president Jason Stephen says Glen Savoie will again be their candidate.

Savoie lost by nine votes to Liberal Gary Keating in last month’s provincial election, but Keating quit this week citing concerns for his health and family.
