Premier Scott Moe and the Saskatchewan Party won a fifth consecutive majority government Monday, losing in the big cities but retaining its iron grip on rural areas to secure victory.
But it found enough support everywhere else to be elected in 34 seats in the 61-seat legislature, compared with 27 for the NDP.
Beck delivered her concession speech in Regina to cheers from supporters and chants of"Carla! Carla!" Other Saskatchewan Party cabinet ministers were re-elected: David Marit, Jim Reiter, Colleen Young, Lori Carr, Everett Hindley, Terry Jenson, Jeremy Cockrill, Tim McLeod and Jeremy Harrison. It’s the third straight campaign where the Saskatchewan Party has lost seats — from 51 in 2016, to 48 in 2020. The party had 42 seats at dissolution due to byelection losses, retirements and two members facing criminal charges.Moe promised broad tax relief and continued withholding of federal carbon levy payments to Ottawa.
Moe also promised that his first order of business if re-elected would be to ban “biological boys” from using school changing rooms with “biological girls.”
