Results
This election marked only the third change of government in the 54 years since the province joined Canada. The Liberals, led by Roger Grimes, were soundly defeated by the Danny Williams-led Progressive Conservative Party, who took almost three-quarters of the seats in the House of Assembly and well over half of the popular vote.{{Cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tories-sweep-to-power-in-newfoundland-and-labrador-1.392308 |title=Tories sweep to power in Newfoundland and Labrador |publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |date=October 22, 2003 |access-date=March 13, 2014}} The Liberals lost seven of their 17 Cabinet ministers, along with the Speaker of the House, from the preceding government. Jack Harris and the New Democrats hopes to increase their seat total from two were frustrated, although their incumbents were re-elected.
