Saskatchewan voters lay out expectations for next 4 years

The votes have been counted, MLAs have been elected, and Saskatchewan residents are starting to digest what was a wild, but also predictable night.

Aside from NDP Leader Cam Broten losing his own seat, it wasn't a surprising election night in Saskatchewan.

Voters had their say at the polls the Saskatchewan Party won 51 seats in the Legislature, while the NDP won 10 and on Tuesday some of them were laying out expectations for the next four years.

For Janak Soni, it was his first time voting in a provincial election. Soni got his Canadian citizenship last year. He said he's looking forward to Brad Wall representing Saskatchewan.

"I follow him a lot on social media and stuff, and I think he's one of the most sensible premiers across Canada," Soni said. "So I'm pretty happy about that."

Soni said he hopes Wall can create more jobs and make Saskatchewan's economy stronger.

However, not everyone was satisfied with the election in general.

Regina resident Terry Ginter said this year's election campaign failed to have issues that drew voters in.

"It was kind of an uneventful campaign," Ginter said. "It kind of just ran how [it]was expected to go. There were really no surprises, I think, in the election."

Ginter said he hopes the new government can help grow the economy despite low oil prices.

Nancy Sandberg said she was hoping for a stronger Opposition to help provide balance.

"[Wall]seems to be one of the most popular premiers in Canada so I wasn't too surprised," Sandberg said.

She said her top priority is to see things improve overall in Regina and across the province because "times are getting pretty tough."
