Tony Brown, the outgoing chief minister, says three government ministers losing their seats in the 2011 general election isn't necessarily a judgement on the past government.
Last night (Thursday), Social Care Minister Martyn Quayle, Treasury Minister Anne Craine and Home Affairs Minister Adrian Earnshaw all failed to regain their seats.
Most polls in the run-up to the election highlighted the importance of national issues and concerns on the minds of voters, but Mr Brown says there are plenty of other reasons why people lose elections:
Bus dispute ‘a considerable way apart’ as talks continue, says infrastructure minister
Noble's bed capacity exceeding industry-recognised 'safe levels'
Government monitoring Middle East conflict with “great concern”, says chief minister
Lord Street Development will bring jobs and a renewed sense of pride
Should the horse tram tracks be fully reinstated?
