Newfoundland and Labrador election called for Oct. 14
The election follows a summer of wildfires and ongoing financial strain with a $19.7-billion debt projected for next year, impacting 540,000 residents.
- Newfoundland and Labrador Premier John Hogan called a provincial election on September 15, 2025, with voting set for October 14 across the province.
- Hogan triggered the election amid ongoing Churchill Falls hydro negotiations and a $19.7-billion net debt expected to deepen next year, pressuring provincial finances.
- The 40-seat legislature currently holds 19 Liberals, 14 Progressive Conservatives, one NDP member, two Independents, and has four vacancies as party campaigns begin.
- Hogan emphasized that the key issue in the election revolves around the memorandum of understanding, while the Progressive Conservatives call for an independent assessment of the hydro agreement, which is expected to generate over $225 billion for Newfoundland and Labrador across 50 years.
- The election outcome will shape the province's debt management, energy deal implementation, and recovery from a destructive wildfire season displacing many residents.
