From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
After twenty years as a minor party the Yukon Liberal Party won the 2000 general election and formed a government under Premier Pat Duncan. The government was plagued with defections, however, and was reduced to minority government status. Duncan called a snap election for November 2002 in the hopes of regaining her government's majority but the party was almost completely wiped out in a Yukon Party landslide with Duncan winning the Liberal's sole seat.
The Yukon Liberal Party is aligned with the Liberal Party of Canada.
