Premier Pat Binns' Progressive Conservative Party was elected to its second straight majority, winning every seat but one. This was an increase of eight seats from the previous election.

The Liberal Party, led by rookie leader Wayne Carew, only won one seat, and Carew lost his own by a substantial margin.

The New Democratic Party, led by Herb Dickieson, increased their popular vote from the previous election, but lost their only seat (Dickieson's own).
