The 26th Saskatchewan general election was held on November 7, 2007; the writ was dropped on October 10, 2007. The election determined the composition of the 26th Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

Campaign

Lorne Calvert, Premier of Saskatchewan and leader of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party (NDP), advised the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan to call an election for November 7, 2007. In the 2003 election, the NDP won 30 of 58 seats to form a majority government. The Saskatchewan Party, currently led by Brad Wall, won 38 seats.

Results

Five New Democratic incumbents — Graham Addley, Mark Wartman, Maynard Sonntag, Lon Borgerson and Glenn Hagel — were defeated. Sonntag was initially declared elected in Meadow Lake on election night, but was declared defeated the following day after a reported tabulation error. This result was confirmed following the counting of absentee ballots on November 19.

The other five seat gains for the Saskatchewan Party came in districts where the New Democratic incumbent did not stand for reelection.

Notes

¹ Dan Harder, the Saskatchewan Party candidate in Regina Walsh Acres, withdrew his candidacy on October 27, 2007 after the party learned the details of a complaint of inappropriate conduct made against him by employees of Big Brothers of Regina in 2006 while he was executive director of the organization.¹
