Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador leadership elections May 2011 · August 2011 · 2013 · 2020
The 2020 Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador leadership election was held due to the announcement by Dwight Ball on February 17, 2020 that he would be resigning as Liberal Party leader and Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador effective when the party elects his successor.[3] Provincial legislation requires that a general election must occur no more than one year following a Premier's resignation.[4][5][6]
The leadership campaign was suspended on March 23, 2020 at noon due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Newfoundland and Labrador.[7][8] The party's leadership election committee met on May 25, 2020, announcing that the race would resume on June 8, 2020.[9] A virtual convention was held on August 3, 2020, at which Andrew Furey was elected leader.
