Saskatchewan Election 2024

The final results of Saskatchewan's provincial election were counted out on Saturday, with Elections Saskatchewan finishing their work.

The total count stands as the Saskatchewan party received 244,037 votes and 34 seats during the election.

The Saskatchewan NDP meanwhile ended the count with 188,373 votes and 27 seats, improving from their previous total but not by enough to secure government.

For the parties that didn't see any seats, the Buffalo Party received 3,267, The Saskatchewan United Party got 18,023, and the Green Party got 7,957.

Three conservative opposition parties all failed to make a significant dent in the Saskatchewan provincial election. 

Neither of the Buffalo Party, Saskatchewan United Party or Progressive Conservative Party were able to win a seat on Monday.

The dust has settled, and the First Preliminary Count of the 2024 Saskatchewan General Election are in for Moose Jaw North.  

The voters chose the Saskatchewan Party’s Tim McLeod, who swept the riding with 4,350 votes compared to Cheantelle Fisher and the NDP’s 2,761, securing McLeod’s reelection for a second term. 

We spoke with McLeod to get his thoughts upon getting the results. 

The divide between urban and rural communities in Saskatchewan is even more evident after Monday's provincial election.

The Saskatchewan Party earned their fifth consecutive term in government largely on the strength of rural Saskatchewan ridings like Cypress Hills. The NDP mostly dominated Regina and Saskatoon. 

While Sask Party MLA Doug Steele again won a massive victory in Cypress Hills, NDP candidate Clare McNabb almost doubled their 2020 performance from over 9% to over 18% in 2024.

The Sask Party continued their rein in the Swift Current constituency Monday night during the provincial election with a convincing win.

Incumbent Everett Hindley unofficially received 66.8 per cent (4,637) of the riding votes to win his third term at the Saskatchewan Legislature. The Sask Party's victory in Swift Current is their seventh straight win as they've held the seat since 1999 when future Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall was first elected.

In his first-ever campaign for Swift Current, NDP Candidate Jay Kimball made lots of progress.

While this election has seen the re-election of Sask Party candidate Everett Hindley, Kimball managed to land 1,996 total votes for the NDP.

This is the largest amount of votes for the NDP in Swift Current since 2003 provincial election when Dean Smith had 2,707 votes, with 36.6 per cent of the vote, when he fell to future Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall.

In contrast, Kimball had 28.7 per cent of the vote.

Blaine McLeod has won his second election in just over a year.

After winning the Lumsden-Morse by-election in 2023, McLeod again secured the riding for the Saskatchewan Party with unofficially over 56% vote.

Chauntel Baudu of the NDP came in second with 24%, and Saskatchewan United Party leader Jon Hromek fell to third with just over 15%.

Hromek had finished second in 2023 with almost 23% of the vote before taking over as SUP leader.

Wood River has once again elected David Marit as their MLA.

The Saskatchewan Party's Minister of Agriculture unofficially earned 68.7% of the vote.

That's a drop from 82.79% in 2020.

Mike Topola of the NDP finished second with 25.8%, while 

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.

After months of campaigning and 28 days after the writ was dropped, the results of the 2024 Saskatchewan provincial election are in.  

The Saskatchewan Party will be returning to government with a slightly smaller mandate. When the counting was done Monday night, they were leading in 35 of the 61 seats and captured just slightly more than half of the popular vote. The 35 seats are the fewest captured by the Saskatchewan Party since the 2003 election when they won 28.  

Saskatchewan Party candidate Megan Patterson is projected to claim the Moose Jaw Wakamow riding in the 2024 Saskatchewan General Election.

Patterson was born and raised in Moose Jaw and worked as a Business Instructor at Moose Jaw's Saskatchewan Polytech Campus.

She graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with Commerce Degree in 2000 and worked for a Fortune 500 company for the next 13 years as an Account Executive and Candian Operations Manager.
