The NDP won the election with 30 seats, the PCs 26 and the Liberal 1 seat, after 1 NDP member resign and one in the speakers chair, the NDP had 28-27 lead in the legislature. All it took was one NDP member (Jim Walding) to vote against the gov't on a budget bill. The next day the Premier (Howard Pawley) resign as leader of the party, and called for election (and a NDP leadership convention).
