HALIFAX—Nova Scotia’s Liberals named a youthful former cabinet minister and self−described agent of generational change to take the helm as they voted Saturday for Iain Rankin to become party leader and the province’s next premier.
Rankin, 37, edged out two of his fellow former cabinet ministers in the three−man race to succeed Premier Stephen McNeil, whose retirement announcement last summer triggered the leadership contest that played out virtually due to the COVID−19 pandemic.
