Rob Clarke withdraws from SaskParty leadership race
Rob Clarke has dropped-out of the running for the SaskParty leadership.
The late incoming candidate is now also the first to leave before party membership votes in January. Clarke said he will now put his support behind Ken Cheveldayoff.
“He could be the best candidate out there,” Clarke told paNOW. “Seeing him in the campaign for the leadership, it’s reaffirmed my belief… that he can bring the party together, but also address Northern Saskatchewan. He’s the only one out there addressing Northern issues.”
Clarke believed Cheveldayoff has really listened to members and understands what they want in a premier. This includes both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of Saskatchewan, which Clarke said is important to him.
