Michel Samson (interim) Stephen McNeil The 2007 Nova Scotia Liberal Party leadership election was held on April 27, 2007 at the Dartmouth Sportsplex, following the resignation of Francis MacKenzie, shortly after failing to win a seat in the 2006 election.

In addition to the leadership convention, the party will hold its Annual General Meeting including the election of officers, adoption of policies, and potential constitutional amendments.

The party had held government for much of the province's history, having been in power from Canadian Confederation in 1867 to 1878, 1882 to 1925, 1933 to 1956, 1970 to 1978, and 1993 to 1999.

The party issued a 78 page document, outlining the rules, on January 15, 2007.

Among them were interim leader Michel Samson, Dartmouth physician John Gillis,[8] and Liberal MPs Geoff Regan,[8] Scott Brison, and Michael Savage.
