Saskatchewan Party holds majority after election, but with smaller margin

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.
