CBC News predicts that the Saskatchewan Party will remain the governing party in the Prairie province after which it is named.

The predicted victory would be the party’s fifth consecutive majority government — a streak not seen since Tommy Douglas led the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) party to five consecutive majorities in the province from 1944 to 1961.

This victory means that Scott Moe should once again become premier of Saskatchewan. He is expected to retain his seat in the Rosthern-Shellbrook riding.

CBC also predicts that NDP Leader Carla Beck will retain her position as Opposition Leader, as she is expected to win her riding of Regina Lakeview.

During the final month of campaigning, the parties clashed over issues such as health care, safety, education and affordability.

Five other parties were also on the ballot: the Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan, the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan, the Green Party of Saskatchewan, the Progress Party of Saskatchewan and the United Party of Saskatchewan.

Heading into the 2024 election, the governing Saskatchewan Party held 42 of the 61 seats in the legislature, while the opposition NDP held 14. Three seats were held by independents and one by Saskatchewan United.

A seat was vacant after Saskatchewan Party MP Gordon Wyant resigned to run as a candidate in the upcoming Saskatoon mayoral race.

In the 2020 election, the Saskatchewan Party formed the government with 48 seats to 13 for the NDP. No other party won a seat in the Legislative Assembly.

A few seats changed hands after this election — the NDP took control of two seats in Regina in the by-elections but lost his long-standing siege of Athabascain the north of the province, to the Saskatchewan Party.

Three MPs elected as Saskatchewan Party candidates in 2020 – Randy Weekes, Ryan Domotor and Greg Lawrence – were sitting as independents when the election was called.

Nadine Wilson, who was also elected as a Saskatchewan Party candidate, later sat as an independent and then as a member of the Saskatchewan United Party.

This time, about 32,000 people requested to vote by mail, according to Chief Electoral Officer Michael Boda. Those received by Saturday will be counted on October 30.

Boda said the final vote count would take place on Nov. 9, including mail-in ballots received after Saturday.
