Tory minister Lynne Yelich loses nomination in new Saskatchewan riding – CBC
Local sports broadcaster Kevin Waugh will represent Conservatives in Saskatoon-Grasswood
Jul 14, 2015
A Saskatchewan sportscaster has snatched the Conservative party nomination away from a longtime Conservative MP — and cabinet minister — who had been seeking to run in a newly-created riding.
Kevin Waugh had only announced last month that he would challenge Minister of State for Consular Affairs Lynne Yelich for the nomination in the riding of Saskatoon-Grasswood.
Yelich had been the MP for Blackstrap since 2000, but that riding was sliced up during the redistribution of boundaries for the upcoming federal campaign and she had decided to run in the more urban portion of the new riding.
