Conservatives sweep Saskatchewan again, Liberals secure single seat

Saskatchewan voted overwhelmingly for the Conservative Party of Canada in the 2025 general election on Monday night, continuing a trend seen in the past three federal votes.

The Conservatives captured the majority of the province’s 14 seats, with the Liberals taking one seat.

While many incumbent Members of Parliament are returning to Ottawa, there is a new face in the northern riding of Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River. Buckley Belanger, a former NDP MLA, won a seat for the Liberals in the newly drawn boundaries.

During live coverage on 980 CJME on Monday night, Saskatoon South incumbent Kevin Waugh spoke about how he started this election season with the challenge of no longer having Corman Park, Greenbryre or Furdale as part of his riding.

He said he made meaningful connections on the doorsteps in his riding and heard clearly that affordability is top of mind.

Regina-Qu’Appelle incumbent Andrew Scheer thanked the voters in his riding for their support on Monday night and said that Pierre Poilievre has offered hope to many voters in this campaign.

“People who work in our oil and gas or natural resources. Our farmers who couldn’t understand why a government was trying to impose fertilizer caps and a carbon tax on aspects of their industries.”

Applause, cheers and shouts of joy erupted from supporters gathered at Liberal HQ in Regina as a national victory was predicted for the party early in the evening.

A Liberal minority government means the party will need support from other parties to pass legislation. For Saskatchewan, where most MPs are in opposition, it sets the stage for a familiar dynamic: advocating for provincial priorities such as energy, agriculture and natural resources from across the aisle.

While overall voter turnout in Saskatchewan was not immediately available on Monday night, advanced poll turnout was 12 per cent higher than in 2021.

Saskatchewan’s population has grown significantly since the last time voters headed to the polls in 2021. Today, 114,186 more residents call the province home, although it’s unclear how many of those new residents meet voting criteria.

650 CKOM held live coverage on the 2025 federal election results on Monday night. Provincial news director Sarah Mills is joined by Jim Farney, the director of the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Regina and former Saskatchewan Party MLA and cabinet minister Tina Beaudry to break down what the results mean for Saskatchewan.
