Calling it: Danielle Smith's UCP holds onto power in Alberta Danielle Smith is still the premier of Alberta, surviving a vigorous campaign and a tight vote Monday against NDP challenger Rachel Notley. yyc yeg ableg abpoli CTVElection
CTV News projects Smith's United Conservative Party will win at least 44 seats to hold majority control of the province's 87-seat legislature.
Notley was aiming to end Smith's eight-month premiership, after the former head of the Wildrose Party won the UCP leadership race in October. Her predecessor, Jason Kenney, announced his resignation in May 2022. The NDP secured just 33 per cent of support Alberta-wide in 2019 and lost 28 seats, mostly in Calgary and rural Alberta.
Notley led a pitch that hammered Smith on trust issues, pointing to her recent ethics violation, controversial statements by her candidates, and comments she made before becoming premier encouraging more private health care and out-of-pocket payments to access it.
