Melenchuk and Osika are both in big trouble in their ridings, with Osika probably running 3rd. The Sask. Party will win all the rural ridings and 4 in Saskatoon, enough to form a majority government. The fear campaign of the NDP will not stop this, it will be anywhere from a small Sask Party Majority to a Sask. Party Landslide win. It is the only way the numbers add up. Results: Sask Party 37
NDP 20
Liberal 1
