New Brunswick election: Who won in these key ridings?
With 49 ridings up for grabs in the New Brunswick election Monday, there were some hotly contested races across the province. Here are some of the ridings we kept an eye on as the results rolled in:
Hampton-Fundy-St. Martins
John Herron served as a Progressive Conservative MP in Parliament for two terms, but he will now serve in the New Brunswick legislature as a member of the Liberals.
He won the Hampton-Fundy-St Martins riding against Christian TV host Faytene Grasseschi, who was acclaimed to the riding as a Progressive Conservative last December.
Former PC MLA and ex-Environment Minister Garry Crossman, who resigned last spring, endorsed Herron, who claimed the riding for the Liberals for the first time since it was created in 2013.
Laura Myers with the Green Party, Barbara Dempsey with the Libertarian Party, Gordie Stackhouse with the NDP and Peter Graham with the People’s Alliance all failed to break through in the riding Monday.
Sussex-Three Rivers
Tourism Minister Tammy Scott-Wallace held onto the seat she won in the 2020 election. She squared off against a familiar face: Former PC MLA Bruce Northrup, who ran under the Liberal banner.
Northrup, who served with the PCs from 2006 to 2020, previously said he was coming out of retirement because he was disappointed with PC Leader Blaine Higgs. He was unable to win the seat.
Green Party member Teri McMackin was also looking to win a seat for their party, along with Libertarian Party member Wayne Wheeler.
Fredericton South-Silverwood
Liberal Leader Susan Holt was originally elected to the legislature for the Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isodore riding in 2023, but this year she won Fredericton South-Silverwood.
It was an important riding for the Liberals as it added to their seat count and ensured their leader can enter the legislature.
Simon Ouellette with the Green Party hoped to deny Holt the crucial seat, as did Nicolle Carlin with the PCs and Nicki Lyons-MacFarlane with the NDP.
Fredericton-Lincoln
Green Party Leader David Coon added another victory under his belt, winning the Fredericton-Lincoln riding, which has new boundaries following the 2023 redistribution. Coon was first elected to the legislature in 2014.
PC Daniel Chippin and Liberal Joni Leger failed to oust the leader of the Greens and land a seat for their parties.
Quispamsis
For the fifth straight election, PC Leader Blaine Higgs looked to win the Quispamsis riding, but he was denied this year. First elected in 2010, Higgs held onto his seat for more than a decade and brought his party to power in back-to-back electoral victories.
Aaron Kennedy, the current Chief Administrative Officer of the Town of Quispamsis, ran with the Liberals and unseated Higgs. The two men last faced off electorally in 2018, when Higgs beat Kennedy by more than 2,000 votes.
Andrew Conradi with the Greens, Alex White with the NDP and independent David Raymond Amos were unsuccessful in their bids to land the seat that has been firmly PC for years.
