Sask. Party avoids NDP sweep in Saskatoon with Ken Cheveldayoff win
The Saskatchewan Party has seemingly avoided being swept off the map by the NDP in Saskatoon with the CTV News decision desk declaring that Ken Cheveldayoff has been re-elected in Saskatoon Willowgrove.
The race between the long-time Sask. Party MLA and NDP candidate Alana Wakula came down to mail in ballots, as it was too close to call after all polls for the constituency were counted Monday night.
Cheveldayoff has served as an MLA since 2003, when he was elected in the now redistributed Saskatoon Silver Springs.
The Saskatoon Willowgrove constituency could be the only seat in the province’s two largest cities to stay loyal to the Sask. Party, as the race in Saskatoon Westview remains extremely close between the NDP’s April ChiefCalf and the Sask. Party’s David Buckingham Wednesday afternoon.
As of 1 p.m. Wednesday, ChiefCalf had a 37-vote lead over Buckingham with mail in ballots still being tallied.
All 12 Regina constituencies flipped to NDP or voted in an NDP incumbent, and all but Saskatoon Willowgrove and the still undecided Saskatoon Westview elected an NDP candidate in the province's largest centre.
Cheveldayoff’s win in Saskatoon gives the Sask. Party its 34th seat in the legislature to the NDP’s 26.
Elections Saskatchewan will hold its final count to certify the election results on Nov. 9. Recounts of certain constituencies with especially tight results are subject to party request and would be undertaken after Nov. 9.
