WHITEHORSE - Yukon Party Leader Currie Dixon says Yukon voters have opted for change by electing what he calls a "strong Yukon Party majority government."
But Dixon, who will become the Yukon's first premier born in the territory, also says the territory faces a long list of challenges, which will "require difficult decisions."Â
Figures from Elections Yukon show Dixon's party elected or leading in 14 seats, followed by the NDP under Kate White, whose party is elected or leading in six seats.Â
The Yukon Liberal Party under Premier Mike Pemberton is leading in one seat, but Pemberton, who only became his party's leader in June, lost his bid for a seat in the 21-seat legislature.Â
Pemberton says Monday's results were not what the party was hoping for, but acknowledges that Yukoners wanted change, something he respects.Â
Unofficial figures peg turnout at 53 per cent, down from 65.5 per cent in 2021 and 76.3 per cent in 2016.
