Breaking: Progressive Conservatives projected to win majority in Prince Edward Island
CHARLOTTETOWN - Voters in Prince Edward Island were projected to deliver a majority win to the incumbent Progressive Conservatives on Monday after an election campaign dominated by debate over heath care and housing.
At dissolution, the Conservatives held a slight majority with 15 seats. The Greens had eight seats, most of them in the Charlottetown and Summerside areas. And the Liberals held four seats, having lost their majority to the Tories in 2019. The Greens nominated 25 candidates, two short of a full slate. The Liberals also fell short by the same margin.
Nate Hood, director of policy with the Greens, said he was hopeful the party would be able to hold on to some of its seats. A former journalist and spokesman for former premier Pat Binns, King called the election six months before the province’s fixed election date, and less than two weeks after the province landed a 10-year health-care funding deal with Ottawa worth $966 million.
Still, Bevan-Baker accused King of failing Islanders on health care. “Let’s remember who created the problems in the first place: it’s the old parties,” Bevan-Baker said.
