In a major upset, Tony Wakeham led the Progressive Conservatives to a majority government for the first time since 2011. With a popular vote share of 44.4%, the PCs won the smallest winning vote share of any majority government in Newfoundland and Labrador's electoral history.^[4]

Background

Following the announcement of a new memorandum of understanding with Quebec regarding the Churchill Falls power plant on December 12, 2024, there was speculation by local journalists that Premier Andrew Furey would call an election sometime in early 2025.^[5] However, Furey unexpectedly announced his resignation on February 25, 2025, effective upon the election of his successor.^[6] John Hogan won the subsequent Liberal leadership election that May.

Premier Hogan requested Lieutenant Governor Joan Marie Aylward issue the writs of election on September 15, 2025. Every party represented in the assembly had elected a new leader since the 2021 election.^[7]

Former NDP leader Alison Coffin ran as an independent candidate in both Carbonear-Trinity-Bay de Verde and Harbour Grace-Port de Grave on a platform of election reform.^[8] She was the first person since Henry Renouf in the 1869 Newfoundland general election to run in more than one riding.^[9][10]

Notes

1. On October 19, 2021, Alison Coffin resigned as leader of the NDP. The same day, Dinn would become interim leader.^[1] On March 28, 2023, Dinn was officially instated as the permanent leader of the NDP.^[2]
2. Note that this figure counts Alison Coffin as two candidates as she ran in two separate districts.
3. John Abbott had been elected in 2021, but he resigned his seat on August 15, 2025 to avoid a prolonged lawsuit over the disputed election results in his riding.^[46]
4. A judicial recount was held in this district which reaffirmed Dinn's victory.
5. Coffin ran as an independent candidate in both Carbonear-Trinity-Bay de Verde and Harbour Grace-Port de Grave as a protest in favour of electoral reform. There was no provision in the Elections Act 1991 which prohibited a candidate from simultaneously running in two separate districts.^[8]
6. Andrew Parsons had been elected in 2021, but he resigned from the House of Assembly on May 1, 2025, leaving the district vacant.^[39]
7. Andrew Furey had been elected in 2021, but he resigned his seat in the House of Assembly on July 3, 2025, leaving the district vacant.^[44]
