Newfoundland
and Labrador: Government
There are 48
seats in the Newfoundland and Labrador parliament (one for each
riding). After a general election, the Lieutenant Governor asks
the leader of the party with the most elected members to become
Premier and form a government. At least once every five years,
Newfoundland and Labrador hold a general election. During an
election campaign, all parties normally run candidates in each
of the province's 48 constituencies. The candidate getting the
most votes becomes the Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) and
represents the riding's residents in the Provincial Legislature.
Newfoundland has 6 appointed Senators and 7 Members of
Parliament.
