The 37th Nova Scotia general election was held on June 13, 2006 to elect members of the 60th House of Assembly of the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada. Premier Rodney MacDonald, who led a Progressive Conservative minority government in the legislature, called for the election on May 13, 2006, hoping for a majority government to better advance his agenda and a clear mandate for himself as he had not yet fought an election as leader. Ultimately, MacDonald was returned to power leading another, slightly smaller, minority government against a strengthened New Democratic Party sitting as the Official Opposition and a weakened Liberal Party. Liberal leader Francis MacKenzie was defeated in his riding of Bedford. == Timeline == *September 29, 2005 - Premier John Hamm, leader of the Progressive Conservative minority government, announces his intent to resign as soon as the party chooses a new leader. *February 11, 2006 - Rodney MacDonald is elected to replace Hamm as leader. *February 24, 2006 - MacDonald becomes Premier and his cabinet is sworn in. *May 9, 2006 - MacDonald's government introduces an "election-style" budget in the legislature. *May 13, 2006 - MacDonald asks Lieutenant Governor Myra Freeman to call an election.
