CP NewsAlert: Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe wins seat in provincial election

REGINA — Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe retained his seat while many of his rural candidates jumped out to early leads in Monday’s provincial general election.

Moe, leading his party into a second election as leader, was declared the winner in Rosthern-Shellbrook shortly after polls closed.

Saskatchewan Party candidates were leading in about 20 other rural ridings, which had been expected, compared with a handful for the NDP.

None of the urban ridings had reported results.
