For more information on Rosthern-Shellbrook constituency, please lick on this link.
Rosthern-Shellbrook is a very new constituency, having first been created for the 2003 provincial election after fitting together pieces of the former Rosthern, Shellbrook-Spiritwood, and Redberry Lake constituencies. Prior to 2003, Shellbrook-Spiritwood and Redberry Lake were more or less swing ridings, while Rosthern has a strong conservative voting history.
The first and only MLA for Rosthern-Shellbrook so far is Denis Allchurch of the Saskatchewan Party, who was first elected in 1999 iun Shellbrook-Spiritwood. Allchurch is the former Mayor of Spiritwood. Earlier this year, Allchurch was successfully challenged for his nomination by Scott Moe, his membership chair. As a result of this, Allchurch is not seeking re-election. It is expected that the Sask Party will easily win this riding again, since Premier Wall is very popular and there is no Liberal candidate this time. Moe could win for the Sask Party this time with upward of 65 percent of the vote or more. Allchurch captured about 58 percent of the vote here in 2007.
