2006 by-election

In February 2006, the constituency's seat became vacant when the current member, Brenda Bakken Lackey (Saskatchewan Party) tendered her resignation. On May 19, 2006, Premier Calvert announced a by-election for the seat, to be held on June 19, 2006.

The candidates were:

Graham Mickleborough raised on a family farm in the Rose Plain district of Saskatchewan, was the candidate running for the NDP. He lives and works in Weyburn as the government appointed CEO and President of Weyburn Regional College.
Dustin Duncan, born and raised in Weyburn, was the Saskatchewan Party candidate. He resided in Regina and worked in the SP legislative caucus office prior to the by-election.
Liberal leader David Karwacki who was raised in Saskatoon and was the Liberal Party candidate. David is an entrepreneur and founder of Star Produce Ltd.

The Saskatchewan Party won the constituency by a considerably wider margin than it had in the 2003 Saskatchewan general election, although the party only managed to increase its share of the vote by a modest four percentage points (this swing would be enough for a Saskatchewan Party majority if it were repeated provincewide in the next general election). The Liberal Party was able to gain more support than the NDP, although that may well have been due to the candidacy of their leader. http://www.cbc.ca/sask/story/sk-byelection060619.html
