Contemporary Politics
In the 1990s the centrist Saskatchewan Party was formed, with four Progressive Conservatives and four Liberals joining together. It served as the official opposition for most of that decade, and was elected to form the government in the 2007 election.
Today, the official opposition in the province is the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party. The current premier of Saskatchewan is Brad Wall, whose government came to power in the 2007 election—the Saskatchewan Party won seats in the Legislative Assembly, as did the NDP.
