The Nova Scotia Progressive Conservatives have won a majority government in the provincial election.

With five of 55 ridings left to call, the Tories have captured 29 electoral districts to replace the Liberals as the next government.

Tory Leader Tim Houston will become the province’s next premier after campaigning on a platform that promised massive spending on the health-care system.

More coming.

Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said there were 50 ridings left to call when there were five ridings left.
