The party took all 14 seats in the province, after winning 11 of 14 in 2015.

Saskatchewan’s lone Liberal MP, Ralph Goodale, was defeated in Regina-Wascana.

Conservative Michael Kram beat Goodale, who has represented the riding for 26 years.

The NDP, who had made in-roads in the province when it won two seats in 2015, lost both in 2019.

Incumbent Georgina Jolibois, who won Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River for the NDP in a close race, was defeated by Gary Vidal.
