While each of the candidates can point to some Saskatchewan backers, the most visibly involved segment of Saskatchewan’s NDP membership has been a group providing support for Niki Ashton – who thusfar has fallen short of the field in terms of overall support. But if (as seems likely) Ashton drops off the ballot with a reasonable share of the vote, then her supporters might be the members who ultimately break the logjam among Nash, Topp, Dewar and Cullen.
