Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King Announces Resignation
Big news coming out of Prince Edward Island—Premier Dennis King has announced he will be stepping down from his role as both premier and leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, effective this Friday at noon. King, who has served as P.E.I.’s leader since 2019, made the announcement earlier today, saying this decision is in the best interest of his family, the government, and the people of P.E.I.
At 53, King assured the public that his health is not a factor in this decision, emphasizing that he has always maintained he never intended to be a lifelong politician. He has consistently expressed his belief in leadership turnover and fresh perspectives in governance. While his resignation might come as a shock to some, King made it clear that this has been a thoughtful and well-considered choice.

Having led the province for nearly six years, King successfully guided his party to a second mandate in 2023, securing another term in government. Under his leadership, P.E.I. navigated various challenges, including economic shifts, healthcare concerns, and pandemic recovery efforts. His tenure saw a focus on community-driven policies, and his approachable leadership style made him a respected figure both within the province and on the national stage.
Now, the big question remains—who will take over? King confirmed that a new leader will be chosen in the hours ahead, and once that decision is finalized, the successor will be sworn in as the new premier. The political landscape of Prince Edward Island is set for a significant shift, and all eyes will be on the Progressive Conservative Party’s next move.
For now, P.E.I. prepares to say farewell to a premier who, in his own words, never wanted to be a "lifer" in politics. King leaves behind a legacy of steady leadership, and as Friday approaches, the province waits to see who will step up to lead the next chapter.
