The MLA for Rosetown-Elrose says he looks forward to working with and supporting the new premier.

A leadership vote is scheduled for Jan. 27.

Wall announced earlier this month that he is retiring from politics once his successor is chosen and said the province and the party will benefit from a fresh perspective.

Jeremy Harrison, who was economy minister, and former social services minister Tina Beaudry-Mellor left their portfolios to take a run at the leadership.
