The 36th New Brunswick general election was held on September 18 2006 to elect 55 members to the 56th New Brunswick Legislative Assembly the governing house of the province of New Brunswick Canada.The campaign came earlier than expected: the incumbent Premier of New Brunswick Bernard Lord had pledged a vote would be held on October 15 2007 but when the ruling Progressive Conservatives faced a loss of its majority in the legislature Lord said he did not want to face a minority government and moreover feared that a by-election could tip the balance of power to the opposition Liberals.The campaign was hard fought with pundits and pollsters calling it too close to call throughout the five week campaign.
