Beasley also sought the nomination for the United Conservative Party in the riding before being disqualified days before the voted after anti-Islam social media posts were discovered.

Collin Pacholek with the Alberta Independence Party is expected to finish in fifth place, and currently is four votes ahead of Jamah Farah with the Alberta Liberal Party

Brooks-Medicine Hat was created after boundary changes in 2017. The Electoral Boundaries Commission made the changes due to increased population growth in Alberta cities, compared to smaller growth in rural areas.

The new riding includes Redcliff, Brooks, Bassano Tilley and Suffield, among other communities.

More to come.
