Elwin Norris Hermanson (born August 22, 1952) was the founding leader of the Saskatchewan Party.
In 1993 he was elected as a Reform Member of Parliament in the Saskatchewan riding of Kindersley—Lloydminster. He was the Reform Party House Leader from 1993 until 1995. He lost his federal seat to Chris Axworthy in the 1997 federal election.
He was elected to the provincial legislature in the 1999 provincial election and became Leader of the Opposition. Widely expected to lead the party to victory, he stepped down days after the party lost the provincial election in 2003 to the NDP and was subsequently succeeded by Brad Wall.
On Friday, June 23, 2006, Hermanson announced that he would not be seeking re-election to the legislature. [1]
