Manitoba Liberals "Falling Apart" "Insulted" Him: Candidate Shane Nestruck - Video
FREDERICTON Progressive Conservative Leader David Alward conceded defeat Tuesday in the New Brunswick election and is stepping down as leader of the party.
Liberal Leader Brian Gallants party won 27 seats, the Tories 21 and the Greens took one riding.
Alward becomes only the second premier to fail in his bid for a second term in the provinces history. He won a majority government in 2010, unseating the one-term administration of Liberal Shawn Graham.
Alward conceded defeat about 12 hours after Gallant was declared the winner on an election night that was plagued by problems counting ballots.
He said Elections New Brunswick has an obligation to make sure the count was done correctly and what happened on Monday night needs to be reviewed.
Alward, whose voice cracked with emotion as he spoke, will continue to serve as the member of the legislature for Carleton.
Amid a bizarre vote-counting snafu, rookie politician Brian Gallant led his Liberal party to a majority election victory in New Brunswick, as voters rejected the Progressive Conservatives bid to jump-start a moribund economy by expanding its shale gas industry.
With most of the polls reporting after a tight battle that went well into the night, the tabulation of ballots was suspended Monday around 10:45 p.m. for almost two hours as concerns arose about technical glitches with memory sticks and discrepancies with vote-counting machines.
Before the count was stopped, Brian Gallants Liberals and the Tories under David Alward were locked in a tight contest. That changed once the results were updated with the Liberals winning 27 ridings compared to the Progressive Conservatives with 21, though the Tories demanded that every ballot be counted by hand to ensure the legitimacy of the election.
Green party Leader David Coon was elected in the riding of Fredericton South, a result that represents a breakthrough for a party that has never held a seat in the New Brunswick legislature.

The Canberra Liberals have called on the ACT government to abandon plans to trial a needle exchange program in the Alexander Maconochie Centre prison, saying the territory should not be "crash test dummies" for new policies.
A needle and syringe program at the Alexander Maconochie Centre was part of an agreement struck by Labor and the Greens on forming a minority government after the 2012 ACT election.
However, attempts by the government to put the plan in place have stalled in the face of fierce opposition from prison guards and their union, the CPSU.
Corrections Minister Shane Rattenbury said both Labor and the Greens continued to stand behind their plan, saying it was addressing a public health issue.

But the Liberals' Andrew Wall called on the ACT government to abandon the program in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, saying the government had failed to consider guards' views.
"The ACT should not continually be called upon to be the crash test dummies for ideologically driven policy, or for policy that is at the behest of the solitary ACT Green, balance of power holder," he said.
The opposition's motion was defeated by a vote of nine to eight, but Mr Wall said it would not be the end of their campaign over the issue.
"There'll be continued motions in Parliament, further questions, scrutiny and a public campaign into the future, calling for this to be abandoned," he said.
