Year in review: Federal election

Year in Review: Conservatives dominate locally, despite Liberal election win

Dec 31, 2025 | 10:30 AM

While the Liberal party was elected to a minority government in April’s Federal Election, the local constituencies stayed blue.

Conservatives won in every northeastern constituency.

Cathay Wagantall was easily re-elected in Yorkton-Melville with 77.5 per cent of the vote. She told northeastNOW after learning the results that she was overwhelmed with the support she received.

“Feels really good, really good, and I’ll certainly continue to find every way I can to work on their behalf,” Wagantall said.

The results of the election went in her favour, but her Conservatives failed to become government. Wagantall said at the time that neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals got everything they wanted from the election, and that she was interested to see how things played out.

Wagantall, who has been in Parliament since 2015, said she was excited to once again represent Yorkton-Melville.

“I just want to say thank you to the people – again – of the riding, and also a huge voice of appreciation for all the people who worked so hard alongside of me.”

In the riding of Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek, Kelly Block won re-election with 77.4 per cent support.

She told northeastNOW on election night she was excited to return to Ottawa to represent the constituency. She was first elected in 2015.

“I’m very thankful to the voters for putting their faith in me,” she said. “We will be going back to Ottawa to hold the government to account when it comes to making life more affordable for Canadians, addressing crime across this country, and ensuring that the promise of Canada is restored.”

Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback was also re-elected, with 71.5 per cent of the vote.

“I’m just honoured and happy to be representing the people in the riding of Prince Albert. It reflects the hard work of my staff here in the constituency and in Ottawa,” Hoback told paNOW at his watch party in Prince Albert. “It is a great team effort and it shows they’ve been doing a good job and people rewarded them by sending me back to Ottawa.”

The lone Saskatchewan riding that didn’t elect a Conservative was Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River, which went to the Liberal Party.
