Saskatchewan opposition leader pleased with the year that was

Although the Saskatchewan NDP was not successful in forming government in October’s election, the party’s leader says there is a lot to be proud of from 2024.

Carla Beck says the biggest highlight would be the campaign that saw the party nearly double its seats in the Legislature from 14 to 26.

“When you look at the confidence our team has brought forward, the connection with people that we have right across this province, and the gains that we saw. Even in areas where we didn’t win the seat, we saw a huge increase in terms of the number of supporters that we found.”
