The New Brunswick New Democratic Party, a social democratic political party in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, will have a leadership election in 2017 or 2018 due to the resignation of party leader Dominic Cardy on January 1, 2017. A date for the election has not yet been set.
After almost six years as leader, Cardy resigned both as leader and as a member of the party, complaining of infighting as well as his disagreements with the policies of the party's federal counterpart, the New Democratic Party of Canada.
