The election is over and Alberta decided it was time to hand the United Conservative Party the reigns.

In the *Cardston-Siksika riding it was an overwhelming vote for UCP candidate Joseph Schow with 11,321 votes.

In the *Chestermere-Strathmore riding it was another overwhelming majority for UCP candidate Leela Sharon Aheer with 13,808 votes.  Derek Fildebrandt, the Freedom Conservative Party leader only managed to muster 1,587 votes finishing a distant third place in the riding.

And we won't know for sure about the *Banff-Kananaskis riding as it's a very tight race between Cameron Westhead of the NDP and Miranda Rosin of the UCP but Rosin is leading with 8,945 while Westhead has 8,273 votes.

2,607 people of the Banff-Kananaskis riding voted outside of their riding in the advance polls, so the results won't be known until later in the week.

 

*still waiting for 2 polls in each riding to report.
