21st General Assembly of Prince Edward Island

The 21st General Assembly of Prince Edward Island represented the colony of Prince Edward Island between April 12, 1859, and 1863. An elected assembly had been dissolved by the governor earlier in 1859 because it could not choose a speaker.

The Assembly sat at the pleasure of the Governor of Prince Edward Island, Dominick Daly. Donald Montgomery was elected speaker.

Edward Palmer was Premier.

This was the last election while an appointed Legislative council was in operation. Before the next election in 1863, PEI switched to an elected Legislative Council operating alongside an elected House of Assembly.
