SASKATOON — Voters in the Saskatoon riding of Fairview have sent a pointed goodbye message to outgoing Premier Brad Wall and his Saskatchewan Party by strongly backing the NDP in a provincial byelection. The Saskatchewan Party candidate, public school board trustee and corrections officer Cameron Scott, was easily defeated by NDP candidate Vicki Mowat on Thursday night. She lost by just 200 votes in 2016 to Jennifer Campeau of the Saskatchewan Party. Thursday’s result was another disappointment in what has been a turbulent year for the Saskatchewan Party, which has been in power for a decade. Earlier this year, the Saskatchewan Party also lost a provincial byelection in the Saskatoon riding of Meewasin, where Ryan Meili claimed victory for the NDP.
