FREDERICTON - Brian Gallant is expected to meet today with New Brunswick's defeated premier after leading his Liberals to a majority government Monday.
Gallant says he will discuss the transition process with David Alward.
Alward walked away from the leadership of the Tories yesterday, about 12 hours after his party was defeated in an election marred by vote-counting glitches.
Alward says he would like to see a review of the problems Elections New Brunswick had counting the ballots on Monday night.
He says he'll continue to represent the riding of Carleton in the legislature.
Alward becomes only the second premier to fail in his bid for a second term in the province's history.
He won a majority government in September 2010, unseating the one-term administration of Liberal Shawn Graham.
In this election, the Liberals won 27 seats, the Tories were left with 21, and the Greens took one riding.
