Both of the province's People's Alliance MLAs have announced they will be crossing the floor to join the Progressive Conservatives.

Party leader Kris Austin said the People's Alliance will cease to exist, and New Brunswick's chief electoral officer confirmed the party has been deregistered.

Miramichi MLA Michelle Conroy, who was first elected in 2018, said while she's devastated to see her party dissolve, joining the Progressive Conservatives gives her and Austin a seat at the table and a voice in government.
