The NDP candidate in Saint John Rob Moir, who came in second, claims history was made by how well the party did not only in the city but the province as a whole.
Moir says alot of people voted who previously were so disaffected they didn't bother casting ballots.
He argues Saint John M-P elect Rodney Weston will be hearing from them and will have to find solutions to their problems.
Moir says he's already looking ahead to the next campaign.
The Liberal candidate Stephen Chase came in a distant third.
