Nova Scotia Liberal leader Iain Rankin on Tuesday conceded the 41st Nova Scotia election to the Progressive Conservatives, ending his party’s eight-year mandate.
The PCs, led by Tim Houston, have been elected or are leading in 30 seats, compared to the Liberals’ 16 and the NDP’s eight as of 11:30 pm Atlantic Time. Twenty-eight seats are needed to form a majority government.
“What a night,” said Houston, addressing a jubilant crowd of supporters during his victory speech late Tuesday night.
During a subdued speech from his party’s headquarters late Tuesday night, Rankin said he respected the results of the election.
“You can never make a mistake casting your ballot, and I respect that,” he said. “I respect our democratic process. It gives us a chance every four years to have a voice, to ask for a change and to judge us on our record and our ideas.”
