NDP Party Leader Kate White raises the hand of elected NDP MLA Linda Moen who had just found out she won her riding of Mountainview.

Eleven women and one non-binary MLA were elected in this week’s vote — making up 57 per cent of the legislature. It’s the first time in Yukon history that men won’t make up the majority of the territory’s Legislative Assembly.
