1999 Election controversy
In 1999, a controversy erupted in the Wood River constituency as Saskatchewan Party candidate Yogi Huyghebaert tied Liberal candidate Glen McPherson. The returning officer cast the deciding vote in favour of McPherson, giving the Liberals four seats. This result was later thrown out in court and a by-election was ordered in June 2000. McPherson did not run and Huyghebaert then won a resounding victory.
