The Progressive Conservative Party , led by Premier Bill Davis , was re-elected for a tenth consecutive term in office, again with a Minority in the legislature. The PCs won an additional 7 seats, but were not able to win the majority that they sought.

The Liberal Party , led by Dr. Stuart Smith , lost one seat compared to its result in the Previous Election , but formed the Official Opposition because the NDP lost more seats.

The New Democratic Party , led by Stephen Lewis , lost five seats, and therefore lost the position of "official opposition" to the Liberals.


RESULTS


1 Includes T. Patrick Reid , a Liberal MPP who is re-elected in 1977 as a Liberal-Labour candidate (he had previously been elected as Liberal-Labour in 1967 but was re-elected in 1971 and 1975 as a straight Liberal).

A number of unregistered parties also contested this election. The North American Labour Party , consisting of Lyndon Larouche supporters, ran three candidates in Toronto and three elsewhere in the province. The Revolutionary Marxist Group and League For Socialist Action fielded one candidate apiece; soon after the election, both groups merged into the Revolutionary Workers League .

Some candidates affiliated with the Social Credit Party also ran in the election, though it is not clear if they were affiliated with the party itself.
