Nippi-Albright says sitting as an Independent will allow her to continue advocating for her constituents in Saskatoon Centre.

Beck says she’s upset by Nippi-Albright’s decision but hasn’t had an opportunity to speak with her.

The NDP now has 26 seats in the legislature, with the Saskatchewan Party government holding a 34-seat majority.


“In good conscience, I can no longer support the direction of Carla Beck’s leadership,” Nippi-Albright said in an Instagram post Tuesday.

“I have raised important issues for a long time, many of which did not receive attention until recently.”
