Andrew Furey has stepped down as the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Andrew Furey has stepped down as the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, in a surprise news conference called on Tuesday afternoon in St. John's.
He said at the time that he had no intention of being a career politician, something he called back to during his speech on Tuesday. He led the Liberals to victory in a rocky pandemic election in early 2021, with voting delayed by a surge of COVID-19 cases a week before voters headed to the polls. By the time ballots were counted, Furey's Liberals had won a majority, taking 22 of the legislature's 40 seats.
