REGINA — The race to elect a new government in Saskatchewan begins today.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has said he will be asking Lt.-Gov. Russ Mirasty today to dissolve the house to launch the provincial general election, with voting day set for Oct. 28.

Moe confirmed the plan in a post Monday on the social media platform X.

His Saskatchewan Party is seeking a fifth straight majority after spending 17 years in office.

Moe says he’s running on his record of growing the economy while making investments in education and health care.

NDP Leader Carla Beck says it’s time for change

Beck is promising a break on the gas tax and removing the provincial sales tax on children’s clothes and some grocery items, along with more spending on health care and education.

Polls suggest a tightening race between the two parties, with the NDP seeing greater support in Regina and Saskatoon, while the Saskatchewan Party remains strong in rural areas.
