It will be a second term in office for Dennis King and his party after a first mandate marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and devastating natural disasters.

“I think we’ve grown some momentum in the campaign and I think we’ll see us hold a solid base of support.” None of the Green members of the legislature had been elected in P.E.I. The Green leader also accused King of failing Islanders by not calling for a public inquiry after post-tropical storm Fiona caused widespread damage and power outages last fall. Despite the Green breakthrough almost four years ago, political observers on the Island said the electorate did not appear to be in a mood for more change when the campaign began on March 6. The Greens had eight seats, most of them in the Charlottetown and Summerside areas. The Greens nominated 25 candidates, two short of a full slate.
