CARCROSS – Yukon Premier Mike Pemberton says he will be calling an election tomorrow, setting the vote for the last possible day allowed under the territory’s fixed election legislation.
He told supporters in Carcross, Yukon, the election will be held on Nov. 3.
Pemberton told the crowd that housing is his party’s top priority, while they will also focus on health care, affordability, the economy and First Nations’ partnerships.
The Liberals have been in power since 2016, although Pemberton has only been the party’s leader and premier since June and he doesn’t have a seat in the legislature.
The party has a minority government with eight members of the legislature and the support of the three New Democrats with a confidence and supply agreement.
The official Opposition Yukon Party also has eight seats.
