Victor Lau wins!
Victor Lau won a convincing first ballot victory with 60% of the vote earlier today at a convention at the Glencairn Rec Centre in Regina to become the new Leader of the Green Party of Saskatchewan. Lau beat Larry Waldinger of Saskatoon and Brendan Cross of Regina. Cross only received 3 votes. Lau and the Greens now have to scramble to launch their provincial election campaign. The election will be dropped around October 7 for the November 7 vote. This is the second time that Lau has lead the Green Party of Saskatchewan; his first tour of duty was in 2006. Lau is one of the founders of the New Green Alliance, which was the forerunner of the Green Party of Saskatchewan. Lau is running for the Greens in Regina Douglas Park against NDP Leader Dwain Lingenfelter and Russ Marchuk of the Saskatchewan Party.

3 votes eh? His momma, poppa and himself. Poor fella... But kudos for trying, I guess.
As for Mr. Lau, given Dwaine's lack of traction, popularity and substance, who knows? Wouldn't that be an upset!
All of which bodes well for the liberal/conservative Saskatchewan Party.
Great blog! Keep it coming.
