Fredericton-Lincoln is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was first created in the 2006 redrawing of electoral districts and was first used in the general election later that year. Its current MLA is Greg Byrne who serves in the cabinet as Minister of Business New Brunswick.
[edit] History
The district was created in the 2006 redistribution primarily from those parts of Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak south of the St. John River and the suburban community of Lincoln from the New Maryland district. It also includes those portions of downtown Fredericton east of Regent Street that were not already a part of Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak (including the legislature building itself) which were formerly part of Fredericton South.
Its first (and to date only) representative is Liberal Greg Byrne, who previously represented the old Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak district from 1995 to 1999. One of Byrne's challegners in 2006 was then leader of the New Brunswick New Democratic Party Allison Brewer.
[edit] Results
* This was a new district being contested for the first time, being made up in parts from the former districts of Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak, Fredericton South and New Maryland. The latter two were previously held by the Progressive Conservatives while Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak had been held by the Liberals.
