The New Brunswick Liberal Association elected a new executive for its party over the weekend.
Over 1,000 members attended the virtual meeting held on Saturday.
Interim leader Roger Melanson says, “The Liberal party will succeed again, I truly believe we are going to accomplish great societal public policies when we all pull together.”
Brian Murphy was named to the role of president.
The lawyer and former MP and former mayor of Moncton says unity will play a big role for the Liberal party.
Speaking confidently, he says the association will begin working right away to rebuild the party, “We need unity, we need policies. We don’t need to win, we are going to win the next election.”

A brand-new executive will be named as part of the convention, including the party’s next president.
