Only nine of the province’s 58 seats in the legislature will be held by female candidates following the Nov. 7 election. This is a drop from the 14 female MLAs who sat in the legislature prior to the campaign.
In addition, of the dozen or so student candidates running in various parties, only one, Jennifer Campeau of the Sask. Party, won a seat.

In an election that delivered precisely what was expected, the Saskatchewan Party handily won a second majority on Nov. 7.
The Sask. Party picked up 64 per cent of the popular vote across the province, breaking the previous record for a single party’s share of the vote. That record was set in the 1912 election, when Walter Scott led the Liberal Party to a victory with just under 60 per cent of the vote.
