Scoitan legislative election, 2008

The legislative election for the Georgeland island state of Scoita will be held on February 8, 2008 following the dissolution of the state legislature on January 10 after a constitutional crisis. The election will be held approximately eighteen months before the expiration of the current legislative term - a new election had not been expected before June-July 2009. The incumbent Conservative government, led by Chief Minister Brad Zimmerman, will be attempting to win a fourth term of office, though it will be the first election fought since Zimmerman became leader. The opposition Liberal Democrats will be attempting to win power in the state for the first time, and to form the first non-Conservative government in Scoita since 1996. The Leader of the Opposition and Liberal Democratic candidate for Chief Minister is Neil Connors.
