The party will choose its first female leader as Becky Druhan and Amanda Mombourquette pitch plans to rebuild after winning just 2 seats in 2024.
- The Nova Scotia Liberal Party announced Friday that Lunenburg West MLA Becky Druhan and Richmond County Deputy Warden Amanda Mombourquette are the two approved leadership candidates, ensuring the party will elect its first female leader.

- Voting begins November 16, with the winner announced at a convention on November 21; party president Margaret Miller called the race an "important opportunity" to earn the trust of Nova Scotians.
