He served in the New Democratic Party government of James Fitz-Allen Mitchell and became prime minister on October 27, 2000, when Mitchell retired. The newcomer to politics only served as prime minister for five months, as in the next parliamentary elections, on March 28 2001 the New Democratic Party suffered a landslide defeat, retaining only three of the 15 parliamentary seats.
