- Saskatchewan general election, 1929
The Saskatchewan general election of 1929 was the seventh provincial election held in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It was held on June 6 1929, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.
As a result of corruption scandals, the Liberal Party of Premier James Gardiner lost a significant share of its popular vote, but more importantly, lost twenty-two of the seats its had won in the 1925 election. While the Liberals held the largest number of seats in the legislature, they had only a minority. Gardiner tried to continue as a minority government, but was quickly defeated in a Motion of No Confidence, and resigned as premier.
The Conservative Party of James T.M. Anderson increased its representation in the legislature from three to twenty four seats, and formed a coalition government with the support of the Progressive Party and some independents.
The Progressives had lost a large part of the popular vote it had won in 1925, but managed to retain five of the six seats it had won previously.
