P.E.I. Liberal Leader Robert Ghiz easily won re-election in his district of Charlottetown-Brighton during Monday's provincial election.
Ghiz earned 60.2 per cent of the vote, close to double that of his nearest competitor, Progressive Conservative John Abbott, who gathered 33.1 per cent of the vote.
Green candidate Cindy Burton came in at 6.7 per cent. There is no NDP candidate in the district, which is west of Charlottetown and is almost exclusively residential.
Ghiz, the son of former premier Joe Ghiz, first won election in the district of Charlottetown-Rochford Square in 2003.
The province's district boundaries and names were all changed by a redistribution exercise before the start of this campaign.
