NS election Progressive Conservatives projected to win
Global News is projecting the Progressive Conservatives, led by Tim Houston, will win the 41st Nova Scotia election.
So far, the PCs have been elected or are leading in 29 seats, compared with the Liberals’ 12 and the NDP’s 11. Twenty-eight seats are needed to form a majority government.
This could end an eight-year run for the provincial Liberals, which have been led by Iain Rankin since February.

The province last elected a PC majority government in 1999, when the party was led by John Hamm.
While the PCs won the next two elections in 2003 and 2006, they were reduced to a minority government both times, before being beaten by the NDP in 2009.
