The Yukon Liberal Party is a political party in the Yukon Territory in Canada. 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 hope of regaining her government's majority. The party was almost completely wiped out, however, by the Yukon Party. Duncan won the Liberals' sole seat in the Yukon Party's landslide.
As of June 4, 2005 Arthur Mitchell is the Leader of the Yukon Liberal Party.
