Tory Leader Dennis King sworn in as 33rd premier of Prince Edward Island
GEORGETOWN, P.E.I. — Dennis King appealed for co-operation from his political opponents as he took office Thursday as Prince Edward Island’s 33rd premier.
The Tory leader and his eight-member cabinet were sworn in by Lt.-Gov. Antoinette Perry during a ceremony held at the Kings Playhouse in Georgetown, P.E.I.
In an address before an appreciative hometown audience, King said a new era of Island politics is beginning with the first minority government in the province in well over a century.
“Islanders have given all members of this legislative assembly a mandate that requires co-operation and collaboration, with the necessity to work together for the best interest of Prince Edward Island,” he said.
