Newfoundland and Labrador will go to surveys for a provincial election on October 14.
Liberal leader John Hogan, the province’s prime minister since May, made a visit to the Government’s house on Monday to ask the Lieutenant-GOV. Joan Marie Aylward will dissolve the house of the Assembly. It was all smiles while walking on the land, accompanied by his wife, Gill, and his dog, Rooney, shortly after 1:30 pm
“This is a very special day for me, and I think a great day for the province,” Hogan told reporters outside.
“Being here now as leader of the Liberal Party of Newfound and Labrador and as Prime Minister of the Province, taking our party to this election is a very proud moment.”
Hogan’s liberals are competing for clinging to power for a fourth consecutive government against a progressive conservative party led by Tony Wakeham and the new Democratic Party led by Jim Dinn.
Each leader is also marching to their respective match for the campaign as the head for the first time.
There are 40 seats in the house of the Assembly. The liberals are 19, the PCs are 14 and the NDP has one. Two seats are in the hands of independent.
Four seats are currently vacancies.
It is official, a provincial election is underway in Terranova and Labrador. CBC News was there when liberal leader John Hogan visited Lieutenant-GOV. Joan Marie Aylward will activate the electoral call. Zach Goudie prepares the stage for the beginning of the race.
“We want to win a majority government. We believe we are the right option for the Newfoundland and Labradorianos at this time,” said Hogan.
Hogan said Monday that he felt from Newfoundland and Labrador was at a crossroads, and believes that his government is the right group to advance in the province.
“I think many of us feel that we are still trying to get where we can be and where we deserve to be,” he said. “We still have a lot of work to do … things point in the right direction, and we want to continue that job.”
Hogan also talked about the ongoing negotiations of Churchill Falls between Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec, which previously called the priority theme of the elections.
Although it cannot be part of the negotiations during the electoral period, Hogan called himself the best leader to see the generational agreement.
“I feel that I am the right leader to finish those negotiations,” he said.
Hogan’s electoral call occurs on the last possible day under the fixed legislation of the province’s election date. The election had to happen on October 14 or before, and at least 28 full campaign days are required.
When asked why he decided to wait until the last day, Hogan said he did it to be open and transparent and support the law instead.
