The Saskatchewan Party has officially confirmed that Premier Scott Moe will seek re-election in the 2028 provincial election. The announcement was made by party officials on Thursday, ending speculation about Moe's political future.
Moe to Seek Fifth Term
Moe will be acclaimed as the party's candidate for his home constituency of Rosthern–Shellbrook, which he has represented since 2011. This will mark his fifth consecutive election campaign in the riding.
“Thank you to my friends and neighbours in my home constituency. I am honoured to be the Saskatchewan Party candidate for the fifth consecutive election in Rosthern–Shellbrook and I am looking forward to leading the Saskatchewan Party into the next election,” Moe said in a prepared statement.
Party Building for 2028
The Saskatchewan Party announced that local constituency associations will hold nomination meetings throughout 2026 to confirm the slate of candidates. “We will be building a strong team to win in 2028, starting by nominating candidates this spring,” Moe added.
While the Saskatchewan NDP had speculated last year that Moe might step away from politics, the premier said he “100 per cent” intended to run. Moe was elected leader of the party in 2018 after Brad Wall stepped down.
“Our Saskatchewan Party government will continue to provide strong, steady leadership at a very turbulent time throughout the world and we look forward to the chance to earn another mandate from Saskatchewan voters in the next election,” Moe said in the release.
