Politics of New Brunswick Political parties Elections

The Green Party of New Brunswick (PVNBGP; French: Parti vert du Nouveau-Brunswick), commonly known as the Greens, is a green provincial political party in New Brunswick, Canada. Formed in 2008, the party has been under the leadership of David Coon since 2012. The party currently holds three seats in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, making it the only minor party in the province currently represented in the legislative assembly.

On November 15, 2008 it held a founding convention in Moncton where the membership adopted a constitution, and a charter of principles to guide the development of policies and platforms. A 12-member Executive Committee was elected. In September 2009, Jack MacDougall was acclaimed as the first leader of the party, serving under the position until stepping down in September 2011. Greta Doucet served as interim leader until the leadership convention in 2012. David Coon succeeded Doucet as leader.

In the 2014 provincial election, Coon became the first Green Party candidate to be elected in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. In the 2018 provincial election, the party elected three MLAs. In the 2020 provincial election, those three MLAs were all re-elected.
