Global News projected a Liberal majority government Monday night after a 33-day campaign that was considered a tight race between Holt and Higgs.

At dissolution more than a month ago, the Conservatives held 25 seats in the 49-seat legislature. The Liberals held 16 seats, the Greens had three, there was one Independent and there were four vacancies.
