Former Saskatchewan MLAs Join Forces to Challenge Sask. Party’s Dominance
In a shocking move, two former Saskatchewan MLAs have announced their decision to run under the Saskatchewan United banner, marking a significant challenge to the long-standing Sask. Party’s grip on power.
Key Highlights:
- Former MLAs Trent Wotherspoon and Danielle Chartier to run under Saskatchewan United banner
- The move aims to shake up the political landscape in Saskatchewan, which has been dominated by the Sask. Party for nearly two decades
- Saskatchewan United promises to bring fresh ideas and a new approach to governance
The Story:
In a press conference held today, Trent Wotherspoon and Danielle Chartier, both former MLAs with the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party (NDP), announced their decision to join forces under the Saskatchewan United banner. The move is seen as a bold attempt to break the Sask. Party’s stranglehold on power in the province.
"We’re not just looking to be a alternative, we’re looking to be a game-changer," said Wotherspoon, a former NDP MLA and deputy leader. "The people of Saskatchewan deserve better than the same old politics and the same old policies. We’re committed to bringing a new approach to governance and to making a real difference in the lives of Saskatchewan people."
Chartier, a former MLA and NDP critic for health, echoed Wotherspoon’s sentiments. "We’re not just running against the Sask. Party, we’re running for a better Saskatchewan. We’re running to bring people together, to build a stronger economy, and to provide better services for our communities."
The Challenge:
The Saskatchewan United ticket will face stiff competition from the Sask. Party, which has been in power since 2007. The party has been plagued by scandals and controversies in recent years, but still maintains a strong hold on the province.
However, the Saskatchewan United ticket is confident that their fresh approach and commitment to change will resonate with voters. "We’re not just looking to win an election, we’re looking to win back the trust of the people of Saskatchewan," said Wotherspoon.
What’s Next:
The Saskatchewan United ticket will begin campaigning immediately, with a series of rallies and town halls planned across the province. The party will also be releasing a detailed platform in the coming weeks, outlining its vision for the future of Saskatchewan.

Two former Sask. Party MLAs say they intend to run under the Saskatchewan United Party banner in the upcoming fall election.
According to a news release from Sask. United on Monday, Greg Brkich, a 21-year MLA for the Arm River constituency will run in Saskatoon Southeast and Denis Allchurch, a 12-year MLA for Rosthern-Shellbrook, will run in Meadow Lake.
Brkich, who stepped down in 2020, faced criticism over his use of the phrase “all lives matter” in his departing remarks.
Brkich is vying for a seat in Saskatoon Southeast, which was long held by Sask. Party veteran Don Morgan, who is not seeking re-election.
In the news release, Brkich said he’s running for Sask. United because he thinks the current government is mismanaging the province’s potential.
“This is not Brad Wall’s Sask. Party anymore,” said Brkich.
“The lack of leadership and vision can’t go on any longer. There is time to fix this province and Jon Hromek is the guy that can do it. Working with him reminds me of the early days with Brad Wall.”
In 2011, Allchurch lost the Sask. Party nomination in a contested bid for Rosthern-Shellbrook to then-newcomer Scott Moe, now premier.
While both of these Sask. United candidates take issue with the direction of their former party, Allchurch set his sights on Moe’s leadership.
“Scott Moe has taken the Sask. Party down a liberal path,” Allchurch said in the news release.
“Jon Hromek and Sask. United offer a true conservative alternative to Scott Moe’s Sask. Party.”
Allchurch will run against Sask. Party incumbent Jeremy Harrison in the Meadow Lake constituency.
Saskatchewan’s provincial election must be held on or before Oct. 28.
