 | | This status was regained in the 1997 election, in which 21 New Democrats were elected. | | | Provincial New Democratic Parties, technically sections of the federal party, have governed several provinces and a territory. | | | New Democrats are also active municipally, and have been elected mayors, councillors, and school and service board members — Toronto mayor David Miller is a leading example. |

| | New leader Peter Lougheed turned the tide in 1967 when he managed to win six seats, followed in 1971 by 49 in the 75-seat legislature - the start of its governing run. | | | The party clung to those 16 seats for a second term, and then was decimated in 1993, losing all its MLAs. | | | Between 1921 and 1971 the party never held more than six seats in the assembly, including the three elections in the 1940s where their candidates ran as independents. |

| | An attempt to embarrass Mr Harper misfired when the prime minister, without consulting his own party's constitutional experts, abruptly offered to renounce a provision that allows the federal government to override Supreme Court decisions. | | | In 2004, Mr Martin persuaded some voters to back the Liberals rather than the New Democrats as the only way to stop the Conservatives. | | | But he has also pledged to uphold the national health service, ruled out any change in Canada's abortion law, and tempered his party's previous opposition to gay marriage and the Kyoto climate protocol. |

| | Aberhart's party swept the UFA party from provincial office in the summer of 1935, and took all Alberta seats in the fall 1935 federal election. | | | In 1943, Premier Aberhart died, and his right-hand man Ernest C. Manning took over the party and government. | | | When British Columbia's New Democratic Party finally won in 1972, it was because both the Liberal and Conservative parties had decided to run their own candidates, thus splitting the right-wing vote three ways. |
