ST. JOHN’S, N.L.—Newfoundland and Labrador’s 14th premier will be announced Monday during an unusual party leadership convention colored by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Only 50 people will be allowed inside the event to welcome the next leader of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador due to the province’s restrictions on large gatherings. The tight limit has forced organizers to get creative and take tough decisions about who will make the list.
