The '''2007 Newfoundland and Labrador general election''' was held on October 9, 2007, to elect members of the [[46th General Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador]].

==Campaign==

The election was called soon after Premier [[Danny Williams (Canadian politician)|Danny Williams]] announced the popular Hebron Oil Field deal,<ref name="autogenerated2007">{{Cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/n-l-announces-16b-hebron-oilfield-deal-1.652030 |title=N.L. announces $16B Hebron oilfield deal |publisher=[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] |date=August 22, 2007 |access-date=March 13, 2014 |archive-date=March 19, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140319065435/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/n-l-announces-16b-hebron-oilfield-deal-1.652030 |url-status=live }}</ref> and it was widely considered a foregone conclusion that Williams' [[Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador|Progressive Conservatives]] would be reelected.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Marland|first=Alex|date=2007|title=The 2007 provincial election in Newfoundland and Labrador|journal=Canadian Political Science Review|volume=1|issue=2|pages=75–85}}</ref> Polls during the campaign showed the Conservatives reaching up to 73 per cent of voter support, leading some commentators to speculate that the party could in fact win every seat in the House of Assembly — a feat accomplished only twice before in Canadian history, in [[Prince Edward Island]] in the [[1935 Prince Edward Island general election|1935 election]] and in [[New Brunswick]] in the [[1987 New Brunswick general election|1987 election]].

On election day, the Progressive Conservatives did win ten more seats than they held at the dissolution of the previous legislature, and won just under 70 per cent of the popular vote, the highest popular vote share ever attained by a party in the province. However, they did not sweep all 48 seats in the legislature though their popular vote share was higher than the winning party's share in the 1935 PEI election and the 1987 New Brunswick election. Three [[Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador|Liberal]] incumbents, as well as [[New Democratic Party of Newfoundland and Labrador|New Democratic Party]] leader [[Lorraine Michael]], successfully held their seats.<ref>{{cite news|title=Jones takes on interim Liberal leadership|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/jones-takes-on-interim-liberal-leadership-1.635573|access-date=8 April 2014|newspaper=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|date=15 November 2007|archive-date=10 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140410213831/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/jones-takes-on-interim-liberal-leadership-1.635573|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="alone">{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/ndp-leader-michael-alone-again-1.669743|title=NDP Leader Michael alone again|publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|date=2007-10-09|accessdate=2017-09-28|archive-date=2022-01-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220122021913/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/ndp-leader-michael-alone-again-1.669743|url-status=live}}</ref> Notably, however, Liberal leader [[Gerry Reid]] was ''not'' reelected in his own riding.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/reid-resigns-leadership-vows-grit-rebuilding-1.632148 "Reid resigns leadership, vows Grit rebuilding"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506191417/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/reid-resigns-leadership-vows-grit-rebuilding-1.632148 |date=2016-05-06 }}.

==Grand Falls-Windsor—Buchans and Bonavista South==

On October 1, 2007, Gerry Tobin, [[Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador|Liberal]] candidate in the riding of [[Grand Falls-Buchans|Grand Falls-Windsor—Buchans]], was found dead in his home.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/candidate-s-death-shocks-liberal-campaign-1.641306| title=Candidate's death shocks Liberal campaign| work=CBC News| date=October 2, 2007| access-date=March 14, 2014| archive-date=December 31, 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131231102032/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/candidate-s-death-shocks-liberal-campaign-1.641306| url-status=live}}</ref> As a result, the chief electoral officer postponed the election in that riding until November 6, 2007.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.releases.gov.nl.ca/releases/2007/elections/1002n01.htm| title=Postponement of Advance Poll and Polling Day in Grand Falls-Windsor-Buchans| access-date=2007-10-02| archive-date=2008-07-20| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080720154633/http://www.releases.gov.nl.ca/releases/2007/elections/1002n01.htm| url-status=live}}</ref> The Progressive Conservatives won the special election, bringing their total number of seats in the legislature to 44.
