Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe gestures while speaking during a press conference before the 2024-2025 Saskatchewan budget is presented in Regina, on Wednesday, March 20, 2024. Political experts say Scott MoeÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Saskatchewan Party is favoured to win a fifth majority government, but they expect heÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ll lose seats to Carla BeckÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s NDP in what is anticipated to be a competitive race.

Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe says some incumbent governments in Canada have had it rough heading into election season, but heÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s confident his party will hold onto power.

Blaine Higgs of New BrunswickÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Progressive Conservative Party was defeated by Liberal Party Leader Susan Holt in a landslide election last week, while voters in British Columbia saw a tight race between David EbyÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s NDP and John RustadÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s Conservative Party.

Moe says itÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s shaping up to be a tough race in Saskatchewan as well, but he and his 61 candidates are focused on their partyÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s plan to create a strong economy and a bright future.

Moe has said his Saskatchewan Party, if re-elected Monday, would bring broad tax relief and a promise to continue withholding federal carbon levy payments to Ottawa.

The politician hailing from Prince Albert didnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t have any planned campaign stops Sunday, but spent Saturday rallying supporters at an event in Saskatoon.

Early voting ended on Saturday, and polls are closed until Monday.
