The Saskatchewan Party secured its fifth consecutive majority government Monday night with just two ridings too close to call as night turned to morning.

Saskatoon Willowgrove and Saskatoon Westview have yet to be officially called as of Tuesday morning, according to CTV News, with the first on that list seeing Sask in a long time. Party member Ken Cheveldayoff with a slight lead over the NDP’s Alana Wakula.

As of 7 a.m. Tuesday, Cheveldayoff led by 255 votes according to 12 of 12 published polls. This small lead means mail-in ballots will likely have to be factored into the final decision.

Cheveldayoff entered the night as the starter and Sask. Party MP since 2003. First elected in the riding of Saskatoon Silver Springs.

After redistribution, he was first elected in Saskatoon Willowgrove in 2016 and re-elected in 2020.

NDP candidate Alana Wakula ran for office as the founder of Wakula Law and a partner in a woman-owned and operated law firm, the NDP says on its website.

If Cheveldayoff were to lose, he would be added to a list of remarkable Saskatchewan. Party members defeated Monday evening, including Christine Tell, Gene Makowsky, Laura Ross, Paul Merriman, Bronwyn Eyre and Lisa Lambert.

Saskatoon Westview

The only other riding not called by CTV News Monday night is Saskatoon Westview, which sees Saskatchewan. Incumbent party president David Buckingham has a miniscule 31-vote lead over the NDP’s April ChiefCalf.

The small lead comes from the precinct’s 11 poll count, meaning mail-in ballots will again determine the outcome.

Buckingham was first elected to the riding in 2016. At the time of the dissolution, he was chair of the government caucus and legislative secretary to the minister responsible for SaskTel and Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI).

ChiefCalf is an educator in the province and was an employee of the Northern Teacher Education Program (NORTEP/NORPAC) before the province shut it down in 2017, according to the NDP.

She currently works in Indigenous teacher programs at the University of Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan. The party claimed victory Monday evening and is currently elected in 33 ridings, according to CTV News. Thirty-one seats were needed to form a majority government.
