Congrats to the NDP!

Low turn out but promising result! Before some argue the Alberta Progressive Tories split the UCP vote, so did the alberta liberal party from the NDP.

YES, Im ok if it's lib or ndp, as long as it's not con I'm happy!
| 2015 Alberta General Election | 2026 Alberta General Election | |
|---|---|---|
| NDP | 5,449 (31.2%) ✅ Winner | 7,461 (49.7%) ✅ Winner |
| UCP / PC | 5,348 (30.7%) | 6,879 (45.9%) |
| Wildrose / IND | 5,962 (34.2%) (5,301 WR + 661 IND) | 82 (0.5%) |
| Liberal | 668 (3.8%) | 602 (4.0%) |
| Total Valid Votes | 17,427 | 15,002 |
Worth noting that the last time the NDP won this riding, Wildrose took a third of the vote, essentially producing perfect vote split that the NDP won off of. This time there's virtually no split and NDP got 49% of the vote (up from 31%) and beat the UCP fair and square. The combined con vote is down and the NDP vote is up. By a lot.
I combined the Wildrose and Independent into a single row to make it easy to compare its effect across the two elecrions.

Provincial Centrists for the win.
