MacLauchlan and Robert Ghiz

Robert Ghiz: MacLauchlan is poised to replace Robert Ghiz as premier of Prince Edward Island following a Liberal leadership convention next month. And he is taking the reins of a party with a firm hold on the legislature, having 23 of the legislature 27 seats, according to 660 News. MacLauchlan, 60, had Liberal caucus members stand alongside him when he announced his intentions to seek the party leadership after Ghiz announced he was leaving politics. No one else stepped forward to contest him and Wade MacLauchlan finds himself in an envious position in Canadian politics set to become head of a governing party and premier after being the sole leadership candidate. I had a note from a friend in Ottawa who said he thinks most of the political leaders in Canada would not mind trading spots, he quipped in an interview. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
