The Yukon Party has voted to keep the premier at its helm after his leadership underwent a successful review at the party’s annual general meeting Saturday in Whitehorse.

About 200 people and delegates from all 19 territorial ridings gathered at the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre for the meeting of the party faithful. Their decision means there will be no leadership convention.

“I am humbled and honoured to have the confidence of our party, and earning the right to serve Yukoners in the next mandate,” Darrell Pasloski told the Star this morning.

Pasloski was elected premier in the last territorial election in 2011. It was also his first time elected to public office.

Though he has yet to officially declare his candidacy, Saturday’s successful leadership review is a strong suggestion that the premier will seek a second term.

The numbers involved in the leadership review vote were not released.

Pasloski succeeded Dennis Fentie as the party’s leader in the summer of 2011.

The general meeting also saw a shuffling of Yukon Party executives.

Former treasurer Linda Hillier is now president, taking over from Pat McInroy.

Brittany Dixon, wife of Copperbelt North MLA Currie Dixon, replaced Hillier as treasurer.

Wayne Hrynuik is now vice-president, and Madison Pearson replaced Shirley Ford as secretary.

Pearson, who is 24 years old and currently works in the cabinet office, also co-chairs the Yukon Party youth caucus.

That caucus played a significant role in the day’s events, she said.

“(Myself), Caitlin Irvine, Kelsey Hassard, Blake Buckle – the four of us ran policy and platform discussions. There were a ton of really awesome ideas about stuff we’re doing now and in the future,” she said in a brief interview today.

Pearson noted that there was “a ton of support for our premier as leader,” adding she was excited to see Hillier become party president.

“She’s a wonderful lady, very smart,” she said, noting that outgoing president McInroy was “extremely supportive” of Hillier as well.

Pasloski underscored the fact that now, four high-ranking Yukon Party executives are women.

“I think that speaks a lot about this Yukon Party that we have today,” he said.

The premier commended the youth caucus for its work at Saturday’s event.

“They played a big role in this AGM (annual general meeting), and with all the members, we had a break-out session to discuss ideas around policy and what to put in the next platform.”

As to what will be in that platform, Yukoners will have to wait and see.

“There was some great stuff, and we’ll build on that,” Pasloski said.

“Part of what we’ll build on is our record, through good times and tough economic times.”
