Glen Savoie Named Interim Leader of New Brunswick Progressive Conservatives

Savoie steps in following Blaine Higgs' resignation after a significant electoral defeat.

Glen Savoie, a longtime MLA from Saint John East, has been appointed as the interim leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick.
Blaine Higgs resigned as party leader after losing his Quispamsis seat in the recent provincial election.
Savoie, one of the few bilingual ministers in Higgs' cabinet, will also serve as the leader of the Official Opposition.
The Liberal Party, led by Susan Holt, won a majority in the election, making Holt the first female premier of New Brunswick.
The Progressive Conservative Party's annual general meeting is scheduled for November 9, where Savoie will address party members.
