HALIFAX—Nova Scotia Liberals are expected to choose a new party leader and premier today after a race was set off by last summer’s sudden retirement announcement by Premier Stephen McNeil.

About 8,100 party delegates have been voting since Monday for their choice among a slate of three former McNeil cabinet ministers—Iain Rankin, Randy Delorey, and Labi Kousoulis—with the winner to be determined during a virtual convention in Halifax this evening.
