Incumbent Premier

Tim Houston
Progressive Conservative



The incumbent Progressive Conservative Association of Nova Scotia (PC) government, led by Premier Tim Houston since 2021, called a snap election seeking re-election to a second consecutive term. The PC's primary opponents are the Nova Scotia Liberal Party led by Zach Churchill and the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party led by Claudia Chender. Both opposition parties will have new leadership from the last election.

Background

edit

During the 2021 election, the Progressive Conservatives included a commitment in their platform to introduce fixed election dates in the province. Under amendments to the provincial Elections Act introduced and passed in October 2021, the first fixed election date following the 2021 Nova Scotia general election was set as 15 July 2025 with all subsequent elections to take place on the third Tuesday in July of the fourth calendar year following the previous election.[1] However, the general assembly may be dissolved earlier by order of the lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia on the advice of the premier.[2]
