The 2024 New Brunswick general election is to be held on October 21, 2024. It was formally called upon the dissolution of the 60th New Brunswick Legislature on September 19, 2024. The incumbent Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick (PC) government, led by Premier Blaine Higgs since 2018, sought re-election to a third consecutive term. Can Higgs win election or will the Liberals take advantage of their poll lead and win the election?
Premier Higgs called a snap election after negotiations failed with the other parties that would have avoided an election until the fixed date in 2022 or the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Will the election bring a majority to the Premier? Or will it lead to the election of another party? And what about the election as a whole in a full COVID pandemic?
As always, feedback very much appreciated.
Here is the New Brunswick 2014 general election in which the real result was that the Liberals won a reasonably narrow majority and made the Alward government the second in a row, and second in provincial history, to only serve one term.
