Premier-Designate John Hogan captured more than 77 per cent of the points needed to secure victory under the Liberal Party’s voting system yesterday to become the Liberal Party Leader.
There’s no hard feelings from rival John Abbot, who expects to find himself in a cabinet position under Hogan later this spring.
“We thought we we’re going to do better. But, I’m very happy for John Hogan and for the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador,” he told reporters.
He has a strong mandate and that will be important going into the next provincial election.’
