New Brunswick’s political landscape changed on Monday as the province’s Progressive Conservative party earned a majority in the legislature and the recently-selected Liberal leader announced his decision to step down.

The election leaves PC Leader Blaine Higgs firmly in control of the province’s political landscape and assured that the decision to call a snap election during a global pandemic was the correct one.
For Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers, Monday’s result is a stunning rebuke to his vocal opposition to the election, which he said was something the province “neither wants or needs.”

Monday’s defeat will also leave the Liberals without a leader after Vickers announced his intention to step down.

“I know that many of you are disappointed with the result and I take full responsibility for it. As a result, I will be resigning as leader of the Liberal Party of New Brunswick” he said.
