Sask United Party (SUP) and its now-former leader, Jon Hromek, have announced his resignation and departure from the party.
Despite not securing any seats in the October 28 election, SUP placed third overall.
A result that Hromek said showed “a growing desire for change among the people of Saskatchewan.”
SUP President Dwight Bunyan confirmed Hromek’s resignation in a statement.
“On behalf of everyone at Sask United, I would like to thank Jon for all of his efforts in building Sask United and his commitment to the people of Saskatchewan,” said Bunyan.
“His leadership and vision will have a lasting impact on this party and the province.”
Hromek released his own statement thanking those who supported him.
“I feel a profound sense of gratitude and humility for the journey we have shared,” said Hromek.
According to Hromek, the decision to step down was not made lightly.
“I have spent countless hours listening to you—at town halls, on doorsteps, and in the streets. Your voices, your stories, and your hopes for our province have inspired me deeply,” said Hromek.
Hromek and the SUP acknowledge that Saskatchewan is at a pivotal crossroads, particularly given what Hromek describes as “new leadership in the United States and chaos in Ottawa.”
He stressed the importance of strong provincial leadership to safeguard Saskatchewan’s interests.
Central to his platform were calls for greater autonomy, including controlling vital resources such as oil, gas, rare minerals, and helium so they can “benefit all Saskatchewan people.”
Hromek also highlighted the need to revisit the PST and Gas Tax, advocating for “real tax cuts” that alleviate burdens on citizens.
While Hromek is stepping away from the leadership and SUP entirely, he emphasized that this is “not the end, it is merely a new beginning.”
He called on supporters to continue advancing the fight for a Saskatchewan-first agenda, partnering with Western allies to build a more prosperous province.
“The future of this province is in the hands of the people,” said Hromek.
“It is you who will carry the torch for change.”
Bunyan echoed these sentiments, affirming the party’s continued commitment to Hromek’s core principles.
As the SUP begins its search for new leadership, it remains focused on Hromek's vision of fostering growth, resilience, and opportunity for all Saskatchewan citizens.
