Theriault's Liberals were widely expected to win a fourth majority government from the outset of the campaign, but Lord's Tories were able to capitalize on the issue of highway tolls and use it to portray the Liberals as arrogant.
Following a huge surge in the final weeks of the campaign, Lord became Premier with his party winning its largest majority in the history of New Brunswick.
