Saskatchewan Party sets Jan. 27 as date for vote to replace Premier Brad Wall
REGINA — The Saskatchewan Party will choose a new leader to replace Premier Brad Wall on January 27, saying the successor will be decided through a one-member, one vote system at a convention in Saskatoon.
“The Saskatchewan Party looks forward to a robust campaign, with many leadership candidates entering the race,” Saskatchewan Party president James Thorsteinson said in a news release following a meeting of the party’s provincial council in Regina.
“I know that our next leader and premier will continue the work of the past decade by continuing to keep Saskatchewan growing.”
Wall has announced he is retiring from politics once his successor is chosen, saying the province and the party will benefit from a fresh perspective.
