| Bermuda General Election
Results - 18 December 2007 |
General elections were held in Bermuda on 18 December 2007 for all 36 seats in the House of Assembly using a first-past-the-post system.
Political Parties & Candidates
A total of 74 candidates from two parties contested the election, with the United Bermuda Party (UBP) and the Progressive Labour Party (PLP) each presenting a full slate of 36 candidate. There were also two independent candidates.
Results
The campaign was the longest in the history of Bermuda and was hard fought between the two political parties. The Progressive Labour Party (PLP) won a third term in power with 22 seats, as against 14 for the opposition United Bermuda Party (UBP).
The results of the election saw no change from the 2003 election with the Ewar Brown led Progressive Labour Party still winning 22 seats and the United Bermuda Party 14 seats. The leader of the United Bermuda Party, Michael Dunkley, failed to win election in Smith's North losing by 444 votes to 536. He had given up his safe seat of Devonshire East to try to overturn the United Bermuda Party's deficit by winning a marginal seat.
