David Marit was re-elected for a third term with almost 69 percent of the vote.
That's a decline from 83 percent in 2020.
Before the election, Marit knew there was going to be some extra scrutiny on the Sask Party.
"I look at what we have done, and I think the record really shows that we have made some significant improvements to the province as a whole," he said. "When I look at infrastructure, when I look at schools, when I look at hospitals being built and I look at some of the challenges we've had, and I've heard it in my constituency. My largest community in my constituency is Assiniboia, about 2600 people, and the challenges around that is attracting professionals. Whether it's healthcare, education, all of it, and I think we've come up with some very good programs for incentives to attract the healthcare professionals and people to come to rural Saskatchewan.
"Are we perfect? No. (Are) there things we can do better? You bet. I hope we continue to do that. I'm very proud of the Sask Party government and how they've stood for the Saskatchewan people on some policy issues and decisions made by federal government that are impacting everybody here in the province, and I would hope that the voters in Wood River constituency are happy with the work that I've done over the last eight years and hopefully continue to serve them."
Mike Topola of the NDP finished second with 26% of the vote. Clint Arnarson of the Progressive Conservative Party, Todd McIntyre of the Saskatchewan United Party and Melvin Pylypchuk of the Green Party rounded out the field.
