The Saskatchewan NDP has set the rules and timing for a leadership contest to replace outgoing leader Ryan Meili, with the new leader to be elected at a convention in Regina in June.
All Saskatchewan New Democratic Party members in good standing will be eligible to vote online or by mail-in ballot.
Registration to become a leadership candidate will require:
• Being a member in good standing of the Saskatchewan NDP
• Providing the signatures of more than 100 Saskatchewan NDP members, half of whom are women or gender diverse, from at least 20 provincial constituencies
• Providing a non-refundable registration fee of $4,000
• Receiving approval from the party to seek the leadership
• Limiting campaign expenses to a maximum of $200,000
More information about this process will be provided as the contest begins and dates are finalized, the party added.
