Personal details
Political party Liberal

Dwight Ball is a Canadian politician, who represents the electoral district of Humber Valley in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly.

Ball won election to the legislature in a by-election on February 13, 2007. At first, it was announced that Darryl Kelly, the PC candidate, had won the election by a margin of twelve votes; however, it turned out that this was a mistake and that Ball had won by a margin of eighteen votes instead.[1] Due to the close result of the by-election, which turned out to have been won by a margin of only nine votes in the official result, a judicial recount was ordered for March 1-2,[2] which resulted in a reduction of Ball's lead to seven votes.[3] In a rematch in the general election on October 9, 2007, Kelly defeated Ball by a 254-vote margin. Four years later Ball became the Liberal candidate once again and defeated Ball in the October 2011, election.
