The 4th Nunavut Legislature began after the 2013 general election on October 29. The election returned 20 of the 22 non-partisan members, with the results in two seats pending judicial recounts or follow-up by-elections due to a tied result on election day.[1] After the official recount held November 5, 2013, the district of Rankin Inlet South was found to be still tied and Uqqummiut was won by two votes.[2]

Change of premier

[edit]

After the election the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut met to select a new premier of Nunavut. Incumbent premier Eva Aariak was defeated in her district on election day,[1] although she had already indicated that she did not wish to stand for a second term as premier.[3]

Membership changes

[edit]

Nuqingaq was expelled from the legislature on October 24, 2014, after repeatedly engaging in disorderly and inappropriate conduct,[4] vacating Uqqummiut and resulting in a by-election which was held on February 9, 2015. The by-election was won by Pauloosie Keyootak.[5]

Ugyuk, who was chosen as the Family Services Minister, lost a non-confidence vote on November 7, 2015, during a leadership review of the cabinet. As a result of the non-confidence vote a motion was made to remove Ugyuk from cabinet.[6] On November 9, prior to discussion on the motion, Ugyuk resigned both from cabinet and as MLA and the motion was withdrawn.[7] A by-election was held in February 2016, and was won by Emiliano Qirngnuq.[8]
