The Liberals under John Savage won a landslide victory over the unpopular Progressive Conservatives under Premier Donald Cameron, while Alexa McDonough's NDP remained a distant third, winning three seats.

The Progressive Conservatives, led by Donald Cameron, campaigned on his record of making 152 reforms since assuming office in 1991.

[1] John Buchanan (served 1978 to 1990) suffered allegations of patronage which Cameron could not overcome during the election campaign.

However, Cameron made a controversial move by appointing two unelected women to his cabinet immediately prior to the election campaign.

[2] Liberal leader John Savage promised to end pork-barrel politics and introduce a new style of governing focusing on job creation.
