EDMONTON, AB.  – The Alberta Party says its membership numbers have grown substantially since it announced a leadership race last March.

Back then there were 1,024 card-carrying members.

Party president Rhiannon Hoyle says that number has swelled to 6,543.

Hoyle says the boom in growth is exciting but now the party must move on to the next step and connect with people in communities across the province.

Party members are to vote for a leader from Feb. 25 to Feb. 27.
