Saskatchewan Party wins fifth straight majority government, Scott Moe back as premier

The party was shut out by the NDP in Regina and lost most seats in Saskatoon, but it found enough support everywhere else to be elected in 35 seats in the 61-seat legislature

Premier Scott Moe and the Saskatchewan Party won a fifth consecutive majority government Monday, losing in the province’s big cities but retaining its iron grip on rural areas.

Moe’s party was shut out by Carla Beck’s NDP in Regina and lost all but two seats in Saskatoon.

However, it found enough support everywhere else to be elected in 35 seats in the 61-seat legislature, compared with 26 for the NDP.
