What Alberta election results — and a mostly NDP Edmonton — could mean for the city

Out of the 20 Edmonton ridings in the Alberta election, 18 have elected NDP MLAs, according to unofficial results. The remaining two ridings — Edmonton-South West and Edmonton-West Henday — remained too close to call on Wednesday morning.
Jason Kenney’s United Conservative
Party wins majority government
Alberta voters handed Jason Kenney and the United Conservative Party a majority government in Tuesday’s election, who ran a campaign promising to scrap the carbon tax and usher in a new era of fiscal conservatism.
The UCP victory is the result of a merger between Alberta’s two conservative parties after splitting the right-of-centre vote in the last provincial election. Kenney, 50, was first elected to the Alberta legislature when he won a byelection in Calgary-Lougheed in December. He retained his seat on Tuesday night. Kenney arrived at UCP election headquarters in Calgary to give his victory speech in the same blue pickup truck he has been campaigning in for months.
“What a great day for the province of Alberta,” Kenney said to a lively crowd.
“Today, our great province has sent a message to Canada and the world: Alberta is open for business.”
