Nominations for the Saskatchewan Party leadership race closed yesterday at noon.

A Saskatchewan Party representative confirmed that there are only six candidates registered.

Rob Clarke wasn't able to take part in the North Battleford debate on November 16, as his registration was still being finalized. But he'll join Tina Beaudry-Mellor, Alanna Koch, Gord Wyant, Scott Moe, and Ken Cheveldayoff for debates Thursday in Weyburn and December 7 in Regina.

Stay tuned tomorrow for more on Clarke's late bid.
